In the “You can’t make this shit up” category. You will be thrilled to hear that some geezer in Nebraska has just broken a world record by paddling 38 miles in a hollowed-out pumpkin that he grew himself. It took him twelve hours but if confirmed it will beat the current record for “longest journey by pumpkin boat” currently held by Rick Swenson, who traveled 25.5 miles (41.038 km) in Grand Forks, North Dakota, in 2016. Yes... Only in America is there a world record for pumpkin boats.
Even the “Bud” workers are in on it.
