Just as I thought, all the cream of the crop of famous and important people all have head sizes 7 3/8 or greater.

Doesn't Abraham Lincoln or Edison count as cream of the crop?

 

[gcollins]

John F. Kennedy 7 5/8

Oh boy, didn't this guy have a hat in the ring (or lack of same) in tearing the heart out out of the hat industry? Or is that just myth...or a bad excuse?

Nah, the head size was too diminutive to count. I like Grant, Taft and MK better anyway.

We do wuite a bit of theatre and movie buisness here in Chicago and the trend for most actors is to have heads 7 1/2 and bigger. I know John Malkovitch is a 7 3/4 or so but thats the only one I can remember off hand. A lady who was costuming an Operah once told me that most of the greatest male singers had heads around a size 8.

Funny you should mention Oprah in this thread. I once heard her say that her head was 26" around!

Haha I am pretty sure I meant opera and not Oprah. But I have heard operah has the largest head ever.

[Mr. Lucky]

Oprah - opera - what's the diff? BOTH can be exceedingly annoying when the fat lady sings!

This is kinda interesting -

Seems that it may be proportional to the other end. lol

IQ

I recall reading some where that head size is not indicative of IQ.

Oh Vanna!

I recall reading some where that head size is not indicative of IQ.

You are correct-a-mundo!

I am cranially capacious, and, well...

...if you were to put my brains in a thimble, it would be the proportionate equivalent of placing a BB in a boxcar.

But hey, speaking of big heads-- how 'bout that Vanna White?!

Prove it.
