      Jesus, no idea! I hope the normal size!

      Now, interestingly, in my mother tongue (I speak Portuguese) when we say someone has a big head – so we call them cabeção (masculine) or cabeçuda (feminine) – we actually mean that they are not very bright! So be careful with any Portuguese or Brazilian friends you may make not to call them not bright’! =)

      A little smaller than my skull.

      Well, the brain is around 1.4 kilograms and can reach up to 2kg. However, the smartest people are not the ones with the biggest brains 🙂

      I guess, i have a normal size brain as mentioned by Gary, which fits my skull. But as mentioned by Dimitar it’s not the size but how active it is. I will say I have a pretty active brain utilizing my left and right side effetcively..!!!
