A bull escapes the ring and jumps into the crowd at a bullfighting event in Spain.
The story that goes along with this video:

Many injured as bull jumps into crowd at Spain arena
A bull jumped into the stands at a bullring in northern Spain injuring up to 40 people, according to officials.

It happened in Tafalla, when the animal leapt over the fence and climbed up the stairs of the stands, knocking people over.

A 10-year-old boy suffered stomach wounds while another spectator was gored in the back. The other injuries were minor.

Officials later tied a rope around the bull to bring it under control. The animal was removed using a crane and later killed.

Spectators were watching a contest of “recortadores”, where participants attempt to dodge the bull as it runs frantically around the arena.

Joke Of The Day: A Meal In Spain

Joke Of The Day: A Meal In Spain A man is visiting Spain and decides to eat in a local restaurant. He sees a delicious-looking meal being served next table. Puzzled, he asks the waiter, “What are they having? It smells great even from here!”

“That’s our specialty here, Señor.” the waiter replies. They are the testicles of the bull from the bullfight this morning,”

The man, wanting to make the most of his vacation by trying out exotic cuisines, says, “I’d get that as well. Thanks.”

“I’m very sorry, Señor, but the bullfight happens only once a day. If you’d like, since you are our honored guest, I’ll ask our owner to save tomorrow’s meal for you.”

The man comes back the next day and true enough, he gets to eat the specialty. The waiter asks him, “What can you say about the meal, Señor?”

The guest replies, “If I could, I’d come back every day to eat this! I even posted a photo of it on Instagram, and my friends are very envious of my food. I just have one question, though. Why do the testicles seem a lot smaller than yesterday’s?”

The waiter proudly announces, “Oh, Señor, on some days, the bull wins the fight!”

Man Drank 4 Bottles Of Wine Every Day And Lived To 107

Antonio Docampo - Man Drank 4 Bottles Of Wine Every Day And Lived To 107

Antonio Docampo García, founder of the Bodegas Docampo wine company, would have two bottles with lunch and another two with dinner.

Stop training for that marathon and put down the quinoa. According to a 107-year-old Spanish winemaker, the secret to longevity is drinking red wine—a lot of it.

Antonio Docampo, who died last week at the ripe, very old age of 107, regularly drank two full bottles of red wine at lunch and another two bottles at dinner. “He could drink a liter and a half at once and he never drank water,” his son, Miguel Docampo López, told La Voz de Galicia. “When we were both at home we could get through 200 liters of wine a month.” To put that in an American perspective, that’s over 250 bottles.

Docampo supported his drinking regimen by founding his own winery, Bodegas Docampo in Ribeiro. “If he produced 60,000 liters a year he’d keep 3,000 liters for himself,” said his nephew, Jerónimo Docampo. “He always said that was his secret to living so long.” He also regularly took a shot of brandy with his breakfast.

The notion that red wine can help people live longer is nothing new. An article in the New York Times from 2008 cites a study suggesting that an compound called resveratrol found in some red wines increases longevity. Though, it would take about 35 bottles a day to actually make an impact. Still, Docampo’s intake was nothing to sneer at, so maybe the resveratrol is responsible. Or maybe it was genetic. Or maybe just insanely lucky. Whatever the case, take the opportunity tonight to lift a glass of red (or an entire bottle) to señor Docampo.
