Do you know someone that is running with the bulls this week in San Fermin, Spain? Well, this Google Maps hack will allow you to view all injuries of people involved in this event from the event each day. For example Alexandra Popovska of Canada obtained a "Slight" injury according to the Google Maps hack from yesterday's run. The map hack also shows you the entire route through the streets of San Fermin using the Satellite view from Google Maps.
Very interesting use of Google Maps indeed!
More information about the event can be found here.

Barbaric!
Just a comment. The place is Pamplona; San Fermin is the name of the festival.
And just what is barbaric about running in front of bulls? The barbaric part comes later in the afternoon, in the corrida. If anyone mistreats the bulls during the encierro, he gets reprimanded (read: beat up) by the rest of the runners. Not only is it not cool, it makes the run more dangerous because the bull may turn around to defend himself. That's when the danger really starts.
