Hey!
That World Record Pumkin was just a mere 20 minutes drive from me in Port Elgin Ontario at
Pumpinfest (
http://www.pumpkinfest.org/).
Here a picture. Please note the my employer (
Bruce Power) is a prominent sponsor of the event [see either side of the prize pumpkin]! Do you think the radiation makes 'em grow bigger? :wink:
PG, send me $1000 and I will send you 50 of the special radiation-mutated seeds so that you too can grow a 1000+ pumkin! :wink: I'll get them fresh from containment for you!
