quad vs. head

I was informed that in the photo from the Diablo TT, that my right quad is 3mm larger than my head. Yes, I do have an exceptionally small head. And yes, I do have exceptionally large quads. But is this possible??? I went into my favorite photo cropping program -- Paint -- and made the following image. I did not in any way alter the size of any quads or heads in the below image. I first did myself, and then as a comparison did Michiko, because I needed a control in the study. If any other cyclists out there are reading this and would like to do a comparison of their quad vs. head size, I would very much like to add to this study. Go ahead and send me your photos.
is that freakish or what?

Some time ago, Michiko suggested that I start measuring my quads. They have grown a lot in the last couple of months. This became evident when I biked to work one day and had a pair of normal fitting jeans in my book bag. They were of the darker color, with a fade in the back, because they were oh so stylin'. I hadn't worn them in about a month. When I got to work, I changed in the bathroom and was horrified that my normal fitting jeans suddenly turned into teeny-bopper tight ass pants, with a paris hilton blue jean fade in the back! I couldn't change, cause all I had as an alternative were some smelly spandex, although they were probably looser than my jeans.
I wish I had a January measurement on my legs...I'll be sure to get that next year. It'll be cool to track throughout a whole season... But, in the meantime, I will start mid-season with some quad measurements.

Here it is (and for comparison sake):
Quad: 59.5 cm. Whoa. That is huge.
Calf: 40.5 cm
Waist: 74.0 cm
I encourage all my cyclist blog readers to keep track of their own quad measurements, post them, and maybe I will be a big dork and make a sweet time-series analysis of quad measurements. I haven't decided the frequency of the quad girth measurement, but stay tuned.
