The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds (1300-1400 g).

At birth, the human brain weighs less than a pound (0.78-0.88 pounds or 350-400 g). As a child grows, the number of cell remains relatively stable, but the cells grow in size and the number of connections increases. The human brain reaches its full size at about 6 years of age.

I knew it, I have the brain of a six year old

Largest Bra:
In September 1990, in Tokyo Japan, Triumph International Japan Ltd developed a bra with an underbust measurement of 78ft. 8in., and a bust measurement of 91ft. 10in. (Source: Guinness Book of World Records)....the question is WHY????

Statistics:
-Studies show that 50-75% of women today are not wearing the correct size bra.
-Over the last 15 years, the average bra size has increased from 34B to 36C.
-The average fashion is designed for a B-cup size breast.

Miscellaneous:
Cup sizes rage from AA-JJ
Women have used bra-like devices, designed to lift, separate and restrain their breasts since as early as 2000BC.
A bust size of 34B bounces 31/8 inches with each step when running. (This is why it is important to wear a supportive bra when exercising!!!)
