In Spain, the Running of the bulls. Anyone know the comparision MPH on man VS. Bull? Man is faster, right???

I can't prove it, but I highly doubt that man is faster than a raging bull.  If you've ever seen a clip of a rodeo.....But, I think I know how you can win.  If the question is specifically about the Running with the Bulls, then a man would be faster at that time because he is smaller and can maneuver better through the streets.  A bull is big,bulky and clumsy in the narrow streets.  They run into each other and everything else around them and it slows them down.

how can it be fair when the bull never wins??? the fighters hide behind big barriers when it gets too close and when the fighter gets tired they change like a  tag team.  Does the bull have all his little bull friends in a line, i think not!  Does 'he' have a little corner to run to to be safe....noooooo!\n\ni say if you wont ban it, which it shud be haven't we had enough of open cruelty, then have a one on one fight if the bull avoids the mattador then it wins...oh and the bull shud get points too for stamping on the guy....

Well, I am a cyclist and this is kind of cliche, but Lance Armstrong.  The man won Tour de France for the seventh time in a row.  A very tough event which covers three weeks, more than two thousand miles, with just two days "off" which are used to travel, and through the Pyrenees and French Alps!  He and other professional cyclists train many tens of thousands of miles each year, burning around about a thousand calories per hour, lots of pain to add.  The longest stage in 2005 was over 140 miles, and mind you, the day before that stage was also over 140 miles as well.  This is with no commercial breaks, time outs, half times, substitutions, or any other sort of break other than a crash if you are unfortunate to get into one.  They even have to eat during the course of the race!  And I could go on...  Lance has this event seven times.

What  a Load of "Bull"

You know, after raising a child to adulthood, I'd have to agree with you on this issue.  Unfortunately I didn't know this at the time.  It WAS a selfish act that I must live with until my dying day.  That's reality!  At least I can admit it!  :o)  Gosh, the UK side of yahoo is a bit more open minded than my side in th US.  I suppose they switched me for a reason.  My statements were kind of like yours & I kept getting violation notices!  We don't have Bull Fighting.  Isn't that a Sport?

Origins\n \nBullfighting may trace its roots to Minoan Crete, where the bull-leaping ritual practiced by youths of both sexes is memorialized in the famous wall-frescos at Knossos. The wall murals show male and female acrobats confronting the bull, grabbing its horns as it charges towards them, and volt themselves over its back. This is known as "bull leaping". However, the frescos offer no hint of struggle or violence, and the Lunar Bull was a sacred animal commemorated in ritual and legends such as that of the Minotaur. Modern archaeologists tend to emphasize the danger involved in this athletic skill and may underestimate the extent to which the bull cooperated. A more likely explanation is found in the worship of Mithras in the pre-Christian Roman Empire. The killing of the sacred bull (tauromachy) is the essential central iconic act of Mithras, which was commemorated in the mithraeum wherever Roman soldiers were stationed. Many of the oldest bullrings in Spain are located on the sites of, or adjacent to the locations of temples to Mithras.\n\nBullfighting is often linked to ancient Rome, when many human-versus-animal events were held as a warm-up for gladiatorial sports. Alternatively, it may have been introduced into Hispania by the Moors in the 11th century, although there are theories that it was introduced into Hispania a millennium earlier by the Emperor Claudius when he instituted a short-lived ban on gladiatorial games as a substitute for those combats. The latter theory was supported by Robert Graves. In its original Moorish and early Iberian form, the bull was fought from horseback using a javelin. (Picadors are the remnants of this tradition, but their role in the contest is now a relatively minor one limited to "preparing" the bull for the matador.) Bullfighting spread from Spain to its Central and South American colonies, and also in the 19th century to France, where it developed into a distinctive form in its own right.\n\nAnother belief is that bullfighting as is in present times has its roots based largely in wars that occurred between Iberians and Moors. As history has it, a common war strategy of the Moors was to set fire to the tails of bulls which would cause the herd to stampede into opposing armies in a frenzy. This tactic on the part of the Moors created a need to devise a way of overcoming the oncoming stampede on the part of the Iberian peninsula's previous inhabitants. What we see today in modern bullfighting, from swords, horses, Spanish style, muletas, facing the bull without weapons as is seen in Portugal's forcados, etc., was born from the necessity of survival in battles against the Moors.\n\nFrench ethnologist Dominique Aubier considers according to an espistemological study that there is no relationship between the Greek sacrifice which is an agricultural ritualistic celebration or the Roman Gladiators and the bullfight which is in Spain of pure paleontological hunting origins.Dominique Aubier explains that the corrida is a 20 000 year old primitive tradition, and that the theory of a so-called Arabic introduction of the corrida in Spain is an extravancy. In the 18th century, the Spanish introduced the practice of fighting on foot, Francisco Romero generally being regarded as having been the first to do this, about 1726. The modern style of Spanish bullfighting is credited to Juan Belmonte, generally considered the greatest matador of all time, who introduced a daring and revolutionary style which kept him almost constantly within a few inches of the bull. Although extremely dangerous (Belmonte himself was gored on many occasions), his style is still seen by most matadors as the ideal to be emulated. As bullfighting devolped, men on foot started using capes to aide the horsemen in positioning the bulls. This type of fighting drew more attention from the crowds, thus the modern corrida, or fight, started to take form. Today, bullfighting is now like it was since 1

Tony Morgan was my least favorate when he was racing in Chicago, although now he has shifted out East.  He has 2 styles of racing, either out front, or he pulls at the quarter.  Not only that, he is a stuck up prick.

I know - they are hilarious!!\n\nI was stuck behind this old guy the other day, he was going REALLY slow, and he drove into a car which was pulling out of a turning, also going at snails pace!\n\nThere was no damage (which is a good thing), but they got into a huge and pointless argument...  Kept me waiting stuck behind them for ages!!\n\nHere's the opposite:  On Spanish news, there as been a horrific crash - a car going at 210 km/hr crashed into the wall of a house.  Diver and passenger dead.  They were doing 210 km/hr in a 40 km/hr zone, and blood tests show that the driver was drunk at the time.\n\nScary eh?\n\n;-)

Breeds generally race their own breeds.  They may be starting an Arabian racing club though!

91-92 MPH on average. I think he's been clocked at 94 before. And no, it can't go back in time. Without a time machine, anyways.

In my opinion the Rejoneodores are better. It  takes a tremendous amount of skill with the horse to take the bull down. All of it is done by leg work in controlling the horse and his actions. I have seen this in person and was fastinated by all of it. I also have it all on video.

Sure are RJF...point of fact they are combining bullfighting and golf for the summer olympics, it will be known as "Bullf." Not sure about all the rules yet, "they" are working on a website. It appears the bulls will chase the golfers over an 18 hole regulation course, with each golfer required to wear red.
