I'm pretty sure I said that very early on in the conversation

1 pound (of muscle) = 1 pound (of fat).

I didn't say 1 lb of muscle weighed more than 1 lb of fat. a pound is a pound is a pound. what I did say is that muscle tissue is heavier than fat tissue. in other words, 1 cubic inch of muscle weighs more than 1 cubic inch of fat.

:)

Which weighs more: a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?

:rolleyes:

See posts #6 and #7

But what you are saying isn't what you mean. You just said it again, muscle tissue is heavier than fat tissue, its NOT heavier, heavier would mean it weighs more, its DENSER (defined as weight per unit volume), which is the same thing as saying its more COMPACT (same weight would occipy a smaller volume). Sorry to be so annonying, I kind of have this thing about language being precise, especially with scientific terminology. What is important is that we all agree on the advice, which is that muscle is a GOOD THING to have! ;)

Yes you did Zen. I am agreeing with you. Sorry if my comments offended so many. I was only trying to correct the language being used.

you didn't offend anyone that I know of and certainly not me. but it did seem that you mis-interpreted what I wrote earlier in the thread.

If a five ton canary is flying around inside of a two ton truck, is the total weight seven tons?

..wanders off, mumbling in a corner...

I'll answer.
No.
However, if the canary sits on the floor the answer is yes.

Now lets say a rooster sits on the peak of an A-frame house.
One side of the house faces east, the other faces west (duh).
If the rooster lays an egg which side of the house will the egg roll to?

If a rooster can lay an egg, then pigs can probably fly, too!

Okay then, same question with the canary, but this time it's a pig.

If an airliner crashes on the border between the U.S. and Canada, where do you bury the survivors?

<I'm done now. Promise.>

I like riddles. much more fun than grammar and word usage. heavier? denser? I'll take funnier anytime. thanks dogmamma!

It depends on the pig. Is the pig one of those flying pigs?
