And where would one find one's noddle?

Presumably on one's shoulders. That's where this one's noddle is!

Webster says:

noddle \Nod"dle\, n. [OE. nodil, nodle; perh. fr. nod, because the head is the nodding part of the body, or perh. akin to E. knot; cf. Prov. E. nod the nape of the neck.] 1. The head; -- used jocosely or contemptuously.

The American Heritage Dictionary says:

nod·dle (ndl)
n.

The head. [Middle English noddel, back of the head, perhaps from Latin ndulus, lump, knob; see nodule.]

I've heard it malaproped to "noodle" as in "use your noodle".
