We need more amateur scientists in the world using their powers for good, like the duo who decided to brew beer in a pumpkin, as illustrated in these pictures over at Flickr.
When I first heard about this, I thought it was a beer that tasted like pumpkin (like the various blueberry beers and other flavors that have been popping up the last few years). But no, it's a big pumpkin carved out (using a drill) and rigged to actually brew the beer.

We can change the way we make eggs -- scrambled, poached, fried -- but what about changing the eggs themselves? Mix up your scrambling routine with quail eggs.

That's just awesome.
Wish I had some clever way of phrasing it, but no, it's simply awesome.

how did they keep it from going rotten while it was brewing? or is there just some natural element of the beer that keeps it from doing so?

Doesn't sound like the most sanitary/safe way to brew beer. Not that I wouldn't drink it anyway. Beer is beer.

OH, I see now, they only used it as the primary. Well, considering it's only in the primary for a few days, the pumpkin wouldn't go bad.
I dunno, though, I remain skeptical.
