Okay, I know this isn't woodworking related but this is an off topic forum. Plus, I couldn't restist showing them to ya'll. These are the 2 biggest pumpkins ever grown. The smaller by Dan Carlson and Marc Peterson, the larger by Bruce Whittier. Keep in mind neither of these giants broke the current world record(as of September 2004) of 1385 lbs. by Steve Daletas set last year because of penholes in the Whittier pumpkin and a split in the Carlson/Peterson pumpkin. For more information on giant pumpkin growing check out www.bigpumpkins.com. It is a pretty cool website, and my bigpumpkins name is Jake Byrd, you can do a search for me on there. Anyway, here are the pictures:
Here is Mr. Daletas with his 1385 lb world record
And last but definatly not least Mr. Carlson(the guy sitting on the truck) and Mr. Peterson(the guy standing up) loading their 1432 lb. pumpkin onto the truck with a forklift. And just for refrence, that is a full size Ford F-250 3/4 ton pickup.
Pretty cool, huh?
