3/22/2006: Bull attack, duck!



This is not a new image, but it's so great - and I've never used it for IotD before, so when it was submitted recently again, I figured, hey it's about time. (Thanks to submitter, whose name I can't match to a Cellar handle, but thanks again)

The full story behind the image is at Snopes. The shot was taken by remote control, during the 2002 running of the bulls in Pamplona.

For some reason I didn't use it when it first came around. Since then I've regretted it! But I won't miss this opportunity not to post the NEXT image, which as you see is the exact same situation. Hopefully this photographer also had a remote control.

You know, from this angle, a duck really does sort of resemble a velociraptor, doesn't it?

I remember the first one going around with a "Digital camera for sale" story. That second one is funny, too!

The bull looks more like a goofy klutz than a fierce animal in that picture, and the duck does look like a dinosaur.

Actually it looks more like a T-rex to me. In particular it reminds me of the T-rex chasing the jeep in Jurassic park with Jeff Goldblum saying, "Must go faster".

Except this time Jeff Goldblum is saying, "Must go slower. Trying to catch dinner."

I know what was going through the mind of the guy photographing the bull.

"Ok, I'm going to the hospital. But if I can get this shot off I can probably make enough to pay the bills".
