8/28/2003: 

Tomato fans from Spain and around the world indulged in a manic free-for-all, throwing some 100,000 kilograms (220,000 pounds) of the stuff at each other to celebrate La Tomatina, surely one of the world's messiest festivals.

Drawn by enthusiastic stories of past visitors to the madcap event, some 30,000 people descended on the small town of Bunol, Spain, just outside the eastern city of Valencia, to throw the fruit at anything that moved -- taking care only to squash them up a little first in accordance with "rules."

Bunol mayor Fernando Giraldos braved the hail of soggy missiles to explain the point of all the amusement. "The Tomatina is just a fun event, where you can throw tomatoes in the street for an hour, alongside people of other nationalities, while you forget all your cares.
