Science 101

A unit of measurement is constant. An inch is always an inch - it does not matter whether it is measured in 1/8ths, 1/16ths, or by the width of elastic bands...an inch is always an inch. (although measurements by men may vary...:tongue2:) This is also true in the measurement of weight.

What does this have to do with anything? If I read one more time that a pound of fat weighs less than a pound of muscle, I think my eyes will start to bleed, and steam pour out of my ears!!! A pound = a pound. The space they occupy will be different (for example, your waist may be smaller but your total weight the same), but the weight will be constant.

A ton of feathers is the same weight as a ton of gold coins...but the amount of space required to achieve that weight will be significantly different.

OK. Class dismissed.
