Saltfish, thank you for answering THIS question (3 of your posts ago), which coincidentally had become the only question I had by this point (I had forgotten about the difference in my first and second glasses of water by that point).

It is far more reasonable to assume that you made a mistake in conducting your experiment, Supple Cow, than it is to assume that the mass (and thus, weight) of the water was somehow removed by some chemical process occuring in your body because no chemical process can change that water's mass!

[sarcastic femaleness] No, actually - I was no longer entertaining that notion, thank you. Perhaps I should have asked "what processes occur when you drink water" a few more times so as to emphasize that I was no longer asking for people to tell me I had measured incorrectly. I mean, I only got around to asking it twice. [/sarcastic femaleness]

Excuse my sarcasm. Had I known this thread would degenerate into this, I would have just asked my friend, the biology major. However, I thought that TFP might be able to provide something more insightful than she could.
