An adult human cadaver head cut off around vertebra C3, with no hair, weighs somewhere between 4.5 and 5 kg, constituting around 8% of the whole body mass

Of course it does. That's why when you fall on your head it's so difficult to get upright again. Some thin people even end up staying that way for the rest of their lives unless put on a special weight gain diet which is specially formulated to make their feet bigger and heavier.
Weebles are so curious and such fun because they are the exact opposite of humans, always wobbling and staying upright, they apparently NEVER fall down.
This is why, in evolutionary terms, although most people relate us to the great apes, we are in fact more closely related to tortoises and turtles who have a similar issue when placed on their backs. Great apes find in fact it impossible to land on their heads as they have heads which are much less than the weight of their bodies and in reality they are much more closely related to cats than humans for this reason.
It's also the reason so many human babies are dropped on their heads as a child. I assume from your question, it happened to you several times?

Perhaps if the brain was made of lead, and then only if the head was the size of a beach ball.

The human physique is sixty one.8 p.c. water by using weight. Protein money owed for sixteen.6 p.c.; fat, 14.9 p.c.; and nitrogen, 3.3 p.c. of human bodyweight. different aspects represent smaller probabilities of bodyweight

Yes. Your bizarre centre of gravity is why you fall over all the time. Eaach fall destroys brain cells, and you do not have many falls between you and a vegetative state.

how big is the head..I guess the guy of the film Mask's head must have weighed more than his body because it was huge....and Cher (who played his Mom) has huge hair on her big head so I guess that must weigh more than her stick thin body!
