Do You Have a Big Head?

Having a big head may not be a bad thing after all. Head size and its relation to IQ has always been a controversial subject. Scholars close to the subject have scoffed at the rudimentary and biased way 19th century scholars drew their conclusion using head size and contour. But modern neuroimaging demonstrate's that cranial volume or in laymans terms, the amount of room for brains, is correlated with IQ.

Dear Mr. Confused,

What size is your head? Mine? Sometimes kidded about being the "head" of my class, or that the signs preceding a stop sign be named "Stop a Elmer", I too have a large grape. If you are looking for a lid for me make it a 7 1/2.

Elmer, My grape is a little above the norm. Unfortunately it's not enough to have a significant impact on my IQ.In this post I purposely left out the fact that people with small heads can have genius IQs in order to irritate the lesser headed. Sorry for that my cranial volume challenged friends.
