?????????????

Maybe its like saying, 'what if you had 10 monkeys and 200 kilos of bannanas and the monkeys ate all the bannanas'. Does the weight then change?

I dont think so!!!

AC, now your talking about something different all together. To put it in simple terms. If you stand outside in your back yard on a set of scales, holding a brick, then throw it up in the air, your weight will change. Would it not? Now, if you were in an unpressurised aircraft standing in the cabin with the same brick, and throw it...what is the difference?? The atmosphere would be supporting the brick, and not the contained air within a pressurised cabin.

Straight up whack.
