Hang on a sec!  Leo got shot in the head, as I recall.  In his case, hardly
a crucial part of his anatomy.

Also, don't forget that the actual time that he was in his Mr. Potato head
state was a matter of weeks (don't have the timeline handy...), not the
endless years it seemed like to us as we were kept waiting for indefinitely 
postponed episodes.  Which means his muscles hadn't had time to atrophy.

Of course, when he comes to after being stung by all those spiders, he'll
either 1) return to the original Leo; 2) start showing a romantic interest
in high school wrestling jocks; 3) look in the mirror and see Dale Cooper;
4) open a chic little Lebanese restaurant out in the woods; 5) wander the
streets of Twin Peaks zapping himself with the Remote from Hell; 6) fart
twice and die.

It could happen!!
