I've found it's easier to weigh yourself with your head on then pull your head off and weigh yourself again. Subtract one from the other and you've got the weight of your head.

The smart way to handle it is to zero the scale with the full weight, then remove your head and drop the negative.

No need to subtract one from the other twice. You did that when removing your head.

Somehow this gives me flashbacks about desperately trying to weigh my boobs and not being able to figure out how to do so in a reproducible way

The official boob weight measurement is by water displacement. Fill a bowl full of water. Weigh it. Immerse the bosoms into the bowl, water will spill out. Weigh the bowl again. Multiply the difference by 0.9. Tada, you've got your best breast burden belief, before buying boundless bizarre boobies balances.

I tried that, but it is difficult to reproduce since it depends on literally millimeters on how deep you dip them in. Also, what about the under armpit part of the boob?

Is that Malcolm in the middle?

No, that's a window. Malcom isn't in this shot

You magnificent bastard, take my upvote and get out of here.

Does this explain quantum physics?

Something about, observing something changes it's state.
