GUY: Damn you, Little Debbie, Why do you make such good treats?
PROFESSOR: Is it libelous to call someone a fat slob?

Especially in the South. And I don't think anyone has died from it.

WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO GET HIT BY A BULL
The summer after my senior year of high school, two friends and I were in Pamplona, Spain for the last day of the annual Running of the Bulls. After a night of sleeping outside on the ground amid the chaos of the festival, we wired up in the street, ready to run. My friend who speaks Spanish swears he heard a local next to us say, "Let's push the Americans in front of the bulls!"
We didn't know what we were doing — we actually missed the part where you run alongside the bulls in the street. But we made it into the arena where they release a bull at a time. They're like baby bulls with corked horns. A hundred people were in the arena. Everyone would form a ring around the bull and then guys would run and slap the bull on the ass when it's distracted.
I kept scooting nearer until finally I was the one running in to slap the bull. After one instance of nonchantly slapping the bull, I jogged away as usual, but when I turned around the bull was right behind me.
I thought "Oh shit" and I tried to get away.
But the bull was faster. He hit me in the lower back and threw me six feet into the air. The bull's horns had somehow fit perfectly around me. I had so much adrenaline that it didn't hurt at the time. But for the rest of the trip my neck was so sore I couldn't turn it, so I had to lean far back to look at art in the museums.
After it was all over I was ecstatic. I wanted to go back the next day and play with the bulls, but it was the last day of the festival. It was just so much fun.

"Peeping Tom" shocks showerers
BY ROSHNI OOMMEN roommen@kansan.com
Three times this week, a man walked into a women's residence hall restroom, opened a shower curtain and watched a woman shower. Now the police are searching for that man, according to a press release by the KU Public Safety Office.
At 7:20 p.m. on Monday, the man walked into a women's restroom in Hashinger Hall and watched women
showering. At 7:30 a.m. Wednesday he went into a women's restroom in McCollum Hall and did the same thing. Shortly afterward, at 7:40 a.m., another instance of voyeurism by the same man was reported.
The police report said that the man entered the dorms by "tailgating" which could either mean that he followed on students' heels into the building or waited around until someone unlocked the door. Captain Schuyler Bailey said
the KU Police are looking at video footage from the residence halls to see if they can find footage of the suspect.
"If we do get video of him, it will be released to the public." Bailey said.
The KU Public Safety Office is asking for any information available in finding the man. Its phone number is 785-864-5900.
