I have enjoyed reading the % heavy discussion going on in the general message board. % heavy has always been a bit of a mystery for me. While scrolling through the GPC list I came across one that was listed at 48% heavy. I have never seen something like that before on such a large pumpkin. Anyone know the story behind it?
The GPC stats are listed below.

Does anyone have a picture of this one? 48% heavy seems like maybe someone didn't measure properly? Just saying.

A pic of a cross-section would give the answer. 48% heavy would mean that there shouldn´t be much room left inside the fruit.
