So the mass of the earth increases, and that means that the gravitational pull of the earth also increases too. So you get heavier every day.

The Earth doesn't weigh anything as it is in space and therefore has no weight, However this fact might be referring to mass because the Earth does have mass.

Didn't believe it...
I didn't believe this until I did some serious calculations in Excel. It's actually really cool. But, to sum up, it takes between 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 and 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years (that's 1*10^40 and 1*10^41) for these dust particles to increase Earth's current mass by even 1%. Consequently this would mean it would take that long for us to increase our weight by 1% (i.e. if you weigh 175 pounds, after that long, without anything else factored in, you would weigh 176.75 pounds). So, I guess it's not all that far fetched afterall! Besides, the earth is 6.58543E 21 tons... Adding 100 to that isn't all that big of a deal...
