Latest and greatest rumors, and are they true

Is their really a pumpkin measuring 486 and still growing with its twin brother sitting at 480 inches Supposedly in the Steel belt of America. Crazy if true, Whats crazier is the rumor it might go West. If not I'd be watching Hamilton and or Canfield or both
