Please identify me!!

I'm a 'rogue seed' of unknown origins. I fell under Scienceteacher's back porch and grew to enormous proportions! I'm some type of pumpkin, my leaves are HUGE - as big as GPs, pointed at the tips, and are speckled with white. I'm not bothered by drought, bugs or fungus - and thrive being IGNORED and not watered/sprayed!!

I've had three fruit so far. They start out looking like deep green Bushel Gourds - but once they hit 20-30lbs they start turning orange with a 'weblike' grid.. then turn solid 'Perfect' orange. They are PERFECT jack o' lanterns - carve very nicely.. and don't seem to mold/decay. In fact 'Teach's kids carved one 2 1/2 weeks ago - and it's still good!!

What am I?? I'd really like to know!!
