Running_Cows_7_10_07.png Female bovines have every right that their horny, horned counterparts do when it comes to trampling hungover tourists in Pamplona…don’t they? A university-based social networking site in Spain has launched a petition for a Running of the Cows to close the San Fermin Festival’s long-standing gender gap:

If the boys run ahead of the bulls, we (women) have to run with the cows. It’s pure logic.

Mention of ‘pure logic’ in a context like this set off our snarkiness alarm, so we immediately braced ourselves for some jokes. Thankfully, the ones that followed were decent:

A cow-run would fill a fundamental void: what do we women do at 8 in the morning when the boys are risking their lives? A little exercise after so much alcohol and food would do us no harm.

Well put. Now if we could only start a petition in the States to get women into fantasy sports. That would strike a blow for gender equality.
