Good thing you didn't include me, my family is legendary for our big noggins. I once walked into a office and this guy looks up at me and says "wow, you sure have a big head". Never met me before and this is the first thing he said, too funny.

Allright, I measured mine.  It's 22".  I have a small head so I'm surprised that Tad was only 23-1/4".  Come on guys, reveal your big 8 pound water heads.  Who thought of this stupid thing anyways? ???

According to my measuring tape, my ball o'lead is 24" (60.96 cm) around, just above my ears.

I actually have trouble finding baseball caps that really fit me well.  About 7/8 of the ones I try on are too small for me to wear without pinching the scalp, which REALLY gets annoying after a while.

More head measurements please. Just because the poll says Dave's head is the biggest doesn't make it so. I've seen photos of the Rat Pack, and I think Wal's is right up there.

Bo might have the largest skull with all that data in there, but with a very low body fat I don't think he's got Dave's head beat.

I'll have to dig up a pic but it doesn't matter now, Dave has me beat. My whopper is only 23 1/2, but I'm only 5'10" so if you take it as a ratio of height vs. cranial circumference, I might take the cake. How tall are you Dave?

I'm 22 3/4" around the noggin just to disappoint those who voted for me.  17" neck though, I seem to have a hard time finding shirts that won't cut off my circulation when buttoned up.  Oops! forgot to measure at the "apple". Add some there!

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

Steve... You're back... How's it going? All the renovation still have you tied up?

My head's a solid 23". It would be 22 3/4 " except I have a "bump" on the back of my head which prevents me from ever going for the bald look. Good thing I got a lotta hair.
