Weighing your head?

(revised editiion)

My head weighs 4.78 kg. I shall not weigh it again!

But someone did ask once on Yahoo answers…

Most people said "chop it, and weigh it after draining the head juice!" I think that may be illegal, but the local laws apply I guess!

They almost beat me to the answer!

I researched the 'Net: My answer?

"To resolve this important query of gravitational nature, Shave your head if you want accurate results!

Ask a friend to stand by to help you...

Fill a 40 gallon barrel of water till water spills

Erect a scaffold for hanging a man/woman by his/her legs.

Make sure the height at hanging is 2 meters at least!

Ensure the noose is strong!

Stuff cotton into your ears

Dip your head into the water fully until only you neck upward is visible- you must ask your friend to help with this- one slap on the butt means dip more, one poke in the ribs means pull out a little! His butt/ribs that is!

Slap-poke-slap-slap-poke-poke-... till it is done!

Use of scuba equipment is forbidden for the sake of accuracy

Wear life jacket on a winter day

Ask your friend to fill up the barrel with your head in water - shh- why didn't you think of that before?

Remove your head from the barrel, while still attached to your body!

Buy a measuring jar and fill up the barrel ounce by ounce to get accurate results

When it is full, measure the volume used to fill the barrel- that gives the volume of the head- with or without hair, as you started out with. Hurray, that’s the volume of your head……

Dry your head!

Take cotton out!

Weigh it

That's the weight of wet cotton in your ear!

Stupid!

Wait!

So you wanted to know the weight of your head?

I am afraid, I may be somewhat wrong!

Wait for a hundred years at most- shouldn't be long- some one would detach your head and aweigh it, if you so dictate in your will, before certification as dead...

Or,
Ask bin Laden to help, if he is ready with his chopper

Chop one head off

Weigh it

You shall have a dead reckoning and a very satisfactory answer!"

Any more questions?

I thought again…

How would you go about weighing your head?

Here’s my second reply!

My head weighs 4.78 Kilograms+/- 1 Kg, I shall not weigh it again!

However, that is against scientific spirit so (for every one else):

Buy a guillotine with a 14" 24 Kg or more sized blade for clean results. Try the Castle of Bastille, they had good ones at the last known epidemic of people who wanted to know the answer to this very serious question!

To come to the point:

Chop one head off

Weigh it at the butchers'

You shall have a dead reckoning and a very satisfactory answer!
