Water, like most other materials, expands when heated so cold water is denser than hot water and is therefore heavier, assuming the quantities are identical of course. This is why the top of a water heated radiator warms up before the bottom; the warmer water 'floats' on top of the colder water. the same effect is sometimes very evident while swimming in a calm sea or lake, the warmer water being close to the surface.
Simply heating any quantity of water, however, will not increase or decrease its weight.

Actually, the toothbrush was invented in Arkansas. Anywhere else and it would have been called the teethbrush.
