July 12, 2008: Pamplona

You've all heard of Pamplona, Hemingway, running of the bulls, yada yada yada.
We've seen some pretty amazing pictures of drunk/crazy people trying to keep ahead of, keep up with, or keep out of the way of, bulls running a four minute mile on twisting cobblestone streets.

That said, this one is a new twist, to me. Apparently at the end of the run, where the bulls enter the ring, these nuts drop down so the bulls will jump over them. I guess they are hoping there are no beefy bulldozers in the bunch.

As much as I've seen and read about this "sport", I have zero desire to try it.
