Perhaps this is silly, but does anyone here have and interest in Werewolves?

Shhh!!!  Don't attract their attention!

No, but I have a firend who turns into a toupee every full moon...

Actually, I'd fall into the "not a beliver but willing to debate" categore
too...

Please don't start with the were toupee thing again...
Anyway... *I* rather like talking about werewolves...
or people who don't shave too much.

*You* rather like talking 'bout anything bob....

So what shall we say about werewolves?

They've got fleas??

<praying for relevancy...>
I actually heard a hypothesis awhile ago that "werewolves" were actually those
with a genetic condition that caused wolf-like hair all over the body.

which genetic conditions...

true... there were/are people like that... nothing a good electric razor can't
help... but... they also don't change on full moons... /

werewolves ? interesting.  the moon is known to aggravate madeness.  hence
the name lunacy.  there are references in many volumes that i've been through
of these peculiarities, but none are conclusive.  i havent met one myself.
and the existence of these beings seem remote.  however i will not abstain
nor negate the theory altogether.  just a stiff upper lip and a maybe.

I think that the existence of werewolves is a very probable theory.  I'm not
sure that I have any evidence to support this, but I'm hoping they're real.
I like to meet one.  Any one else?

They're probably exist, but the stories must be a bit exagerated

Well, I would love to meet one.  What do you suppose they're really 
like?  I ownder if all of hte supposed symptoms of lycanthropy would be 
apparent or not...

Hey there tall dark and hairy... ;)

Or short, hairy, and drooling, depending on who you belive.

Or a poor lonely soul with all these classic characteristics and no friends.
Makes me sick really. I'm not crazy enough to anticipate a rendezvous with
a blood sucking werewolf. But a poor disfigured soul ? These theories seek
to isolate these les miserables and treat them as outcasts like we once did
the lepers.  Yes, I'd have trouble looking one in the eye too. But I'd blame
my society for that.  The least we can do is not to ridicule or scorn. Sorry
if I went out of focus for a moment.

I can understand how i would be possible for a human being to have hair that
grows at sometimes and not at others.. but what does the moon have to do with
anything.. this part of lycanthropy I just don't get.  nistel said early about
lunatics.. they're cray people right.. how did the moon get into this one??

Kain, The moon was branded as a catalyst to abnormal human behaviour since
the dark ages. I might seem naive to cite this Eg., but any movie on
werewolves pictures the creature changing form with the moon in the
background. The books are only too livid in their description. Just as it
affects waves of an ocean (why, i dont know) the moon seems to affect our
mental balance and state of mind (magnetism, ethereal effect GOK).  Not that
this is something I agree or conform to - Just putting in a commonplace 
thought.

well, yes--the amount of sunlight one recives, the temperature, and the
weather can also change one's mood.  This isn't some mystical link, just the
fact that we enjoy sunny warm weather more than cold, dark, and cloudy weather

Yes indeed! And since werewolves cant stand the sun, and since they are
nocturnal - maybe the moon was just thrown in for effect. I dont know about
that one for sure.

Has anyone heard of the new werewolf film Bad Moon?  Or something like that?

Think so. I haven't seen it though.
And welcome, matteis!

Well, if "i think therefore i am" is correct, then maybe "we think it,
therefore it is" also applies?
