    a hole.

    it is weightless but you can see it and if you put one in a bucket it will make it lighter.

    Phooey, my answer is better. A hole can be microscopic which would make it very hard to see, even if it does technically make the bucket lighter. But a helium balloon wrapped in double-sided tape -- no way you're gonna miss that.

    That may explain the inferior out-of-date answer. Dinosaurs had not yet invented helium balloons OR double-sided tape, and would not have considered the possibility of microscopic holes, too small to see.

    I must have missed the balloon-carrying microscope-using dinosaurs. Or did they have some in the "dino DNA" cartoon bit toward the beginning?

    I've got one for you guys:

    Huzzah! Although, I suppose that in these days of pre-paid funeral plans there are cases where the buyer is the same as the user, and sees the coffin before he or she has to use it. Another good riddle gone the way of the dinosaurs and their hole-ridden buckets.
