Taking "Amateur Night" Too Far: In Betulia, Colombia, an annual festival
in November includes five days of amateur bullfighting. This year, no bull
was killed, but dozens of matadors were injured, including one gored in
the head and one Bobbittized. Said one participant, "It's just one bull
against [a town of] a thousand morons." 

TIME WARPED

I had gathered my first-grade class around me to teach them to tell time
using a conventional-style analog clock.  We'll be learning about the
hour hand and the minute hand, I explained.  One of my students
interrupted and said, "I don't need to learn on that kind of clock.  My
dad bought me this digital watch, and right now it's 10 minutes to 38."
