Some say it might be the "evil gourd of doom".

Others say it might have a picture of Jesus inside.

Either way, I'm not cutting it open.

Is cutting one off the vine considered a hate crime?

Mystery solved

Looks like it's a "Fairytale" Pumpkin.

http://www.allaboutpumpkins.com/varieties.html#fairytale

This is an old time pumpkin from France. It is deeply ribbed and has a very smooth hard surface. It is dark green in color when immature, and as it cures it turns a gorgeous deep mohagony. It is fine grained and well suited for pies. It's true name is: Musque De Provence.

I have never seen one like that, but we grow Jarrahdale pumpkins that turn a neat mottled slate grey/green when ripe. There's lots of variety in squash, that's for sure.

I dunno but you might want to get it surgically removed.
