It started kind of as a joke between me and Husband, but part of me thinks that it would be VERY USEFUL to have a device that measured us in terms of volume displacement, rather than mere gravitational pull.

An Archimedes' scale is basically a huge dunk tank, where you measure a person much the same way you measure a gob of Crisco by throwing it into a bowl of water.

How would you feel if you could measure your progress by tracking changes in how many cubic inches your body is, as opposed to how many pounds?

Right now, it's sounding pretty damned good.
