	Bull Fights 101
		The bull fight takes place in the afternoon and commences with a bugle, music (pasodobles) and a procession across the ring of the afternoon's "performers" (except for the bulls who are out of sight in individual corrals awaiting their turns).
		The bulls that are lucky enough to be chosen when young calves for a future bull fight are then raised essentially as wild animals roaming with their brothers and cousins over the ranges.
		The bull is to the matador as a violin is to a violinist or a block of stone is to a sculptor.

	Professional Bull Riders
		Bull riders use the term "away from his hand" or "my hand" to describe the scenario in which a bull is spinning in the direction opposite a rider's riding hand.
		When a bull rider dismounts from or is bucked off a bull, the bull sometimes goes after the rider or the bullfighter and attempts to hook the human target with his horns.
		Bull riders use the term "into his hand" or "into my hand" to describe the scenario in which a bull is spinning in the same direction of a rider's riding hand.

	Charging Bull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charging Bull (sometimes called the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull) is a 3,200 kg (7,000 pound) bronze sculpture by Arturo Di Modica that sits in Bowling Green park near Wall Street in New York City.
		The sculpture depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity, leaning back on its haunches and with its head lowered as if ready to charge.
		In 2004, Di Modica announced that the bull sculpture was for sale, on condition the buyer does not move it from its present location.

	Bull fighting and Courses Landaise in South West France
		The Matador slowly wears the Bull down, tiring him out and with one skillful thrust of his sword (known as "l'Estocade") in a very small area at the back of the head, kills the Bull with an attitude of dignity for the mighty animal.
		The final epitaph to the Bull is that he is taken away and sold by the kilo in all the local butchers in the town.
		When the charging Cow is only a few meters from him, he makes a vertical jump (he hopes he judges the situation correctly) and lands close to the muzzle and horns of the Cow and then quickly swerves to make the Cow pass behind his arched back.

		On the other hand, it's difficult to make a bull charge into a corner, and furthermore, the artifacts found on top of the block when Phaistos was excavated suggest it was used as an altar, at least in its final phase, although it may have served a different purpose before.

		Regardless of how you massage the return data for the current bull market — whether you're looking at median or average returns or returns posted after massive multiyear lows or returns in 401(k) plans — the math just doesn't add up to the kind of big numbers stock investors expect during a bull market.

		And from the myth of Theseus, one might conclude that the acrobats were captives or sacrificial victims, whose athleticism and timing might have spelled the difference between gory death and popular adulation by the Knossos throngs.
		Historians have long speculated on the scant likelihood of anyone grabbing the horns of a charging bull and vaulting up onto or over its back, even with the aid of a "catcher" standing by to steady the leap to the ground.
		It has been pointed out that bulls tend to make a sideways sweeping gesture with their horns, the force and speed of which impales anyone within reach.

	BULLFIGHTS
		These fighting bulls are descended from Spanish breeding stock, and the matadors (toreros), banderilleros and picadores, in their rich and colorful costumes (named "traje de luz" or suit of lights), follow all the rules of the contest as presented in Spain.
		If the matador acts with cowardice, clumsiness, or fails to kill the bull in a humane manner at the end of the fight, he leaves the arena in disgrace, taunted by the jeers of the audience.
		A fierce fighting bull is given 5-7 years of the most luxurious life a bull can know and then he dies fighting, in a blaze of glory.

	Why do bulls charge when they "see red"?
		The Matador will start the fight with a series of passes, first from side to side to bring the bull close to his body, then high with the cape travelling directly over the bull's horns.
		After the bull is trained to charge the cape and it has reduced its area of protection to just a few feet, a Matador will show you his individual personality by the combination and variations on these passes.
		Some of the better Matadors in Spain will fight the bull from their knees or even kneel with their backs exposed to the bull.

	Minoans: Bull Jumping
		A bull would run at a jumper or line of jumpers; when it was close enough, the jumper would grab the bull's horns and either vault onto the bull's back or vault over the bull in a somersault and land on his or her feet on the other side of the bull.
		The difficulty of this vaulting is eloquently demonstrated in a Minoan vase: when you grab hold of a charging bull's horns, it jerks its head up violently—that's how it attacks with its horns.
		Since the bull provides most of the momentum in the vault, it seems likely that the activity has more in common with gymnastics than bull-fighting.
