Average Weight of Human Head
I couldn't find any references for this online, so I asked around my workplace (the Department of Anatomy & Histology, University of Sydney). The most convincing response came from the service room where the technical officers actually cut up the bodies:
"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."

I thought about chopping off my own head and weighing it but it sounded too painful... and messy.
So im gonna go find a homeless person so i can chop off their head and weigh it. I'm sure they'll understand when I say its for yahoo answers.
