As a follow-up to our last post, some of you may be asking yourselves: "Just how long does it take for a carved pumpkin to rot?". The answer is "17 seconds" according to this time-lapse video.

As it turns out, this is not the only "rotting pumpkin video" making its way across the internet airwaves. There's another one here. For those of you who prefer fruit, how about some bananas or watermelon? We sure hope these videographers have compost piles; it'd be a shame to waste that precious organic matter.
