Self-decapitation? Who suggested that? Are you sure?

A self-decapitated head will kill you, so you won't be able to see the results. To do it, stick a bucket on a tray, fill it to the brim with water then dunk your head into it. Weighing the water that spills out onto the tray gives a fairly good approximation of the weight of your head. This theory works because the density of most people's heads is similar to that of water.

The estimate can be improved by visting the local butcher and buying or borrowing a pig's head (the butcher wwill also weigh the head for you). Repeating the head in the bucket process now gives you the displaced volume and mass of the water, and you can weigh the head!

Assuming your head and the pigs head are very close in design and hence close in overall density, you can construct a simple equation:

Volume of pigs head/Weight of pigs head = Volume of your head/Weight of your head

or, on reordering the terms:

Weight of your head= (Volume of your head x Weight of pigs head)/Volume of pigs head
