Will an airplane weigh less if half the people on it go to the lavatory and pee?
So what's the answer that you are looking for to this question, vagabond? Is the question asked in reference to "weight" or "mass" as the previous posters have now pointed out the differences between? Are we talking about the obvious and straightforward answer, or is there a twist that will cause a paradigm shift in our thought processes?
