This article didna grab my attention because of the hugeness of the pumpkin, as I have seen this before. But it had this description of its outrageous rate of growth--AT NIGHT, when no one was looking. It almost makes it sound like an ALIEN BEING! :O

Smashing Pumpkin

Ian and Stuart Paton's pumpkin weighed in at 1,457lb - more than 104 stone - and had to be lifted by forklift truck...

"At it's fastest stage this one was growing at 30lb a day - that's more than two stone.

"Pumpkins do most of their growing at night and it may even have managed up to 50lb in 24 hours if it was as warm as 25 degrees celsius overnight."

An original Mini [car] weighs 1,360lb (617kg).
