It's the Great Robotic Overlords, Charlie Brown: make a Cylon jack-o-lantern

Charlie would be better off trying to kick that football than tracking down this jack-o-lantern. The guys at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories put their l33t stenciling, carving and LED wiring skills into this Cylon Centurion née pumpkin, and naturally posted all the info necessary to create your own. This stacks up pretty well against the pumpkin PC and even the Engadget pumpkin. But for truly evil and mad status, we'd prefer a fruit-based rendering of Number Six, destined to be destroyed October 31st by Starbuck Power Mac -- only to download, re-emerge next Halloween and continue its plan of human genocide through sweet, pie-based deliciousness. Frak.

If you live in the city, be prepared to build 4 or 5 of these. If it doesnt get stolen within the first 4 hours of displaying, i'll cut off my basketballs.

heh, just to let you know... a pumpkin is actually a vegetable. Not a fruit like you state in the article ;)

Yes, they have seeds, so fruit. Just like my fav fruit, jalapenos.

In botany, a fruit is a seed bearing product of a plant. Vegetables are harvested parts of a plant such as a root (potatos).
