So let's stir this up a little.

There you are, standing on the surface of the earth. You have your mass, and you have your weight. You can tell your weight because you are standing on a scale.

Suppose the earth were to be spinning twice as fast. Your mass is unchanged. Are you heavier? (That is, does the scale show more?)
