Here come the Bulls

Yes, it is that time of the year again, rivaling the Felix Grundy Festival:

The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain


The following could be said of both festivals:

A major reason why there are so many injuries is that people often run whilst incredibly drunk.
Your biggest fear should be not of the bulls but of other people around you falling on top of you or tripping in front of you. With the vast numbers of people, running this happens a lot. Even if you think you can outrun a bull, take into account that when five people fall in front of you, it is going to be difficult to take evasive action.

I think I heard that this year
someone was killed at the running
of the bulls. First time for
quite a few years too. It is
a wonder there more arn't. Suppose the drunks are more dangerous
than the bulls are. Don't think
I will be doing it, at least not
this year. You'd have to be drunk
to even consider doing it.
