A William Tell Halloween

Our neighbor up the street has a rather large stone gargoyle by their front porch. For Halloween, they balanced a small pumpkin on top. Images of William Tell shooting an apple off the top of a head. Would an arrow split the pumpkin in half? Any risk of the gargoyle being damaged? Mmm, pumpkin seeds. The secret to roasting them is to not wash them. For a tactile treat, just squeeze them through your fingers, trying to remove most of the yummy squash goop. I just pop them in the toaster oven and toast them, two or three times and stirring them up each time.
