What a bunch of bull!

Monday July 7, 2008
The bulls are off and running in Pamplona, Spain, at the famous San Fermin festival, and so far the score is: Bulls, 13; People, 0. (That's 13 injuries, not goring deaths.)

Hoping not to get hooked on horns, the first four-minute chase saw a wave of thrill-seekers running through the cobblestone streets donning red kerchiefs. None of the first day's injuries were from goring; traditionally, the festival sees its share of trampling injuries.

Yesterday, an Irish man fell to his death from a wall during festivities. The BBC reports that it was likely hours after his death when his body was finally discovered.
