We’ve seen our share of amazing jack-o’-lanterns over the years, but you know who makes the best pumpkins? NASA. Makes sense. If you can put a man on the moon and explore outer space, cool pumpkins should be no big deal.
The space agency holds a workplace pumpkin-carving contest every year, and when you are talking about the crafty folks at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, you know that these pumpkins will be stunning. These guys are engineers of the highest caliber. These guys create pumpkin art like no other. They are given an hour to pick their pumpkin, get to know it’s dimensions and so on, then they are not allowed to see it again until carving day. They spend the time in between planning.
Check out some of this year’s awesome and inspired creations in this video from WIRED:
These pumpkins are just amazing. That alien cow abduction one is brilliant. These folks could do any task you threw at them.

Doctor Who fans looking for a Christmas stocking might want to get in on this one. This Adipose stocking doesn’t look fat, which is what you might expect, but it might get that way once you load it up with goodies.
The stocking is 19-inches long and will hold all sorts of stuff you might want to eat and stuff you don’t want to eat. Christmas growing up was the only time we had fruit around our house (the stuff i don’t want to eat).
There were always oranges stuffed in the toes of our stockings, along with a few apples. We normally just threw the oranges at each other when mom wasn’t looking. You can get the Adipose stocking at ThinkGeek for $14.99.
