The San Fermin festival occurs this weekend in Pamplona, Spain and it’s famous 8 day “Running of the Bulls” is already underway.  MSNBC reports that on day 2, an Australian man was gored in the leg.

I think at this point the bull gored him merely on principal.

The man will, thankfully, live and sadly, probably not learn from his mistake and be one of those idiots that isn’t going to let this stop him from coming back next year. While I’m glad the guy won’t die, I’m also glad that the bull was able to get in it’s licks. What some people don’t know is that the bulls that run are the same bulls in the bullfights that night.
