Fw: Request: Strange facts about pumpkins


Does anyone have any strange facts about pumpkins?  

A young lady in Australia (unknown to me)  sent me the following e-mail
and has requested that I pass it on to the newsgroup.

The strangest (craziest?) thing off the top of my head is the Pumpkin
Regatta, but don't have the details handy. Maybe you could help her out,
Wayne. Any other ideas?

This whole thing is terribly important to both Mandi and I as you can see
from the letter - for not only does Mandi stand a chance of winning a
ticket to a 'Smashing Pumpkins' concert but - ah! - she has promised to
love me forever for helping.
