Strange but True Story - Giant Pumpkin Picture

Will and Guy's Strange But True Stories

Strange but True Story about 88 Stone Pumpkin

Fact is always stranger than fiction.  Here is martin with his record breaking pumpkin.

Bavarian Martin Reiss planted the pumpkin at the end of April and harvested it in September when it was 88 days old.  This pumpkin set a new European record for pumpkins.

Strange but True Story of the 88 Stone Pumpkin

I love everything about this giant pumpkin story.  For example, the coincidence of the 88 days and the 88 stone.  Also the fact that measurement is in good old fashioned stone, even though mark lives in Germany.

Giant Mushroom

Just the job to stuff your giant pumpkin.

The white mushroom, macrocybe titans

A more than 20-kilo (41-lb) mushroom has been picked in a forest in Mexico's southernmost state of Chiapas. The white mushroom, macrocybe titans, measured a towering 70 cm (27 in) tall, was found near Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala.

Guy the Botanist

Guy had a life as a Botanist, so I know how difficult it is to grow plants.  Our department had special growth chambers with zillions of tubes of artificial light to simulate sunlight.  We students nicknamed them ' death chambers' because many plants would not grow in these supposedly ideal conditions. To be fair the truth was often absent minded professors used to sow plants, but then forget to water them.

Mushy peas shut A1 road

The lorry spilled its load of peas on the A1 A major trunk route was closed  after a lorry and a bus collided, spilling tons of peas onto the road.  Motorists had to steer clear of the A1 near the Great Gonerby roundabout in Lincolnshire, after the southbound carriageway was closed.

Some 18 tons of the vegetable were shed in the incident, leading to long delays spilling over into Nottinghamshire.

Emergency services which attended the scene say nobody was seriously hurt in the collision.

A police spokesman said the road has since re-opened to traffic.
