Does The Earth Weigh More Or Less Now Than It Did 2000 Years Ago?

The other day I was having a conversation with a friend about the efforts to try make computers "green" and afterwards I started thinking. Does the Earth weigh more or less now than it did 2000 years ago?

I did some Googling and found this article on Yahoo! answers, however I am not sure I agree with the theory that was being presented there.

hey theorized that the Earth is being bombarded by tons of stuff from space everyday. Ok, I can believe that, even though I have never actually witnessed something hitting the ground from space myself. Sure I have seen some falling stars, but I never actually saw one hit the ground. Seems to me they mostly burn up on entry through our atmosphere.
Anyway, what about the fact that there are more people today than 2000 years ago. And what about all the oil we have sucked out of the Earth then converted it into gas then burned in our automobiles and so on? It seems that one gallon of liquid gas weighs more than the dusk or smoke that is the results of it burning. We also allegedly sent some stuff into space in the form of satellites and some more stuff to the moon.

Does anybody have a good answer to the question if the Earth weighs more today than 2000 years ago?

Lisa Nowak To Re-Enter Space Program

Lisa Nowak has accepted a leadership position in the newly created Gerbilnaut program with it’s first mission, STS298, expected to be launched sometime in the fall of 2008.

The Gerbilnaut program is expected to lead to new technology that may one day eliminate the need for the diaper systems traditionally used in the space program.

Gerbilnaut project team leader Richard Gere (not related to the actor) said he felt that Lisa Nowak was perfect for the roll in this new program based on her real life experience.
Nowak stated that had Gerbilnaut technology been available at the time of her famous excursion she would not have had to endure the discomfort of a poopy diaper for eight hours. Instead she could have deployed a Gerbilnaut and driven the distance secure in the knowledge that Gerbilnaut has her back.

Gere stated that for him it's all about safety. "One of the main mission objectives is to test the Gerbilnaut tether line." We would hate to loose a Gerbilnaut and have to scuttle a mission, especially at this early stage of the program.
