Here are some of the best pop culture pumpkins we found around the web. These are the real great pumpkins, Charlie Brown.

    Twitter 'Fail Whale'

    This is great for two reasons. One, it's a clever idea for a pumpkin carving. And two, people who don't use Twitter will see it and think you've lost your mind. Birds carrying a whale on strings? What the heck?
