How much does water weigh?

Okay, this is easier to understand if you think of the air as something thick with mass, like Jello. If a fly is suspended in Jello (which fills the elevator) it will move up and down with the elevator without changing position, because it is too light to move through the jello on its own.

Suspend something heavier in the jello, like a marble, and if there is enough speed in the elevator going down, and enough of a sudden stop, the marble will move through the jello and end up on the bottom at that sudden stop.

So to a fly, air is more like the consistency of jello than it is to us. Just like we would be hard put to make our way through thick mucky mud, but to an elephant it's nothing.

And glass is a liquid... Seriously...

you pee about as much as you take in because it is constantly recycled. ever notice if you only drink one or two glasses of Water you only pee maybe twice or three times that day? But if you drink a lot then you pee a lot. it just gets recycled. People who are proud of their "water weight" being lost, are unknowingly proud that they are dehydrating themselves. LOL

except for those of us who are getting rid of edema, extra Fluid in the body that is causing harm as opposed to helping.
