Culture Buzz What a beautiful creature. Red pandas are the new hotness.
Pumpkins may be bigger than corn, but he's still not interested in sharing.
Pumpkins is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Pumpkins.
Culture Buzz Some intergalactic jack-o-lanterns for your viewing pleasure.
Food Buzz The autumn tradition of adding pumpkin to everything is a cross-species celebration. On a side note, bear claws are adorable and terrifying.
Yeah, I made this Buffy the Vampire Slayer pumpkin; you jelly? Share your favorite/best pumpkin carving!
Awesome montage of some big cats playing with pumpkins. After all, who doesn't enjoy a pumpkin this time of year?
Halloween really gives the geeks their time to shine. It's like their Pride Week.
Beyond the general pumpkin smashing goodness, the production values here are kick ass. Nicely done, Utah. ;-)
Style Buzz Part two of an ongoing series! If you liked 20 Fabulous Kitty Witches, you're going to love these adorably mad cats dressed up in pumpkin costumes to celebrate Halloween. (Via)
Food Buzz It's Halloween tiem! and as I look over the bright orange rows of hollow bloated orbs sitting in front of Wal-Mart I am reminded of the Republican party (for some reason). It turns out a lot of pumpkins bear a striking resemblance to our favorite lovable pachyderms.
Chris Stevens of New Richmond, WI just smashed the old world record of 1725 pounds (set last year and tied earlier this year - pictures of more Great Pumpkins here) with a 1810.5 pound pumpkin!
Food Buzz What does it take to qualify as a “Great Pumpkin”? Well, since it took a weight of at least 1,400 pounds to make the top 5 of this year's New England Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off, 1400 pounds should probably be a minimum requirement. But, this year's winner at 1,674 1/2 pounds only qualified as the 4th (strike that) 5th (strike that) 6th best pumpkin to be weighed (so far). Which means that if your massive pumpkin weighs under 1,5000 pounds, it's probably not a capital g Great Pumpkin. Keep trying, and start with a seed from the world record holder's line, like this year's Great Pumpkin grower Steve Connolly did. You're unlikely to see any of these Great Pumpkins flying through the air, though. Big Ten inch would need to be renamed Big Ten foot to stand a chance with these monsters!
I expected more l33t-speak pumpkins this year but whatever. This will probably just confuse children anyway.

Food Buzz Carving a pumpkin takes fine motor coordination. If you’re more of a planner than a cutter, molding you jack-o-lantern may be the way to go. You’re too late to make your molded Sarah Palin pumpkin this year, obviously.
