Wisconsin man robbed of “heaviest pumpkin” crown on technicality

The injustice! A Wisconsin farmer had a state...nay, a country...nay a UNIVERSAL RECORD pumpkin recently and was disqualified for one tiny, insignificant crack. Mike Schmit told ABC 7 Chicago that he had a pumpkin that weighed in at 2,520 pounds. It, hyperbole aside, was set to become the heaviest gourd in the United States, if [...]
