GeekDad at Wired.com reports that two behavioral scientists from the Department of Psychiatry and Behaviours Sciences at UAE University have discovered several cases of Lycanthropy (Werewolf-ism) and one case of Were-Cow-ism. Here is an excerpt from the original article:
"The type of animal that the patients changed into were mainly dogs (seven cases) and only one case changed into a cow for the first time to report."This was incredibly shocking to me (especially since I've always wanted to become a werewolf!), until I got to the bottom of the article:
"... Lycanthropy is the belief in the capacity of human metamorphosis into animal form... So, lycanthropy has less to do with an abundance of hair and a desire to devour raw flesh on a full moon. And, more to do with the belief that you can turn into another animal. Oh well, another of life's small disappointments."[ Source: GeekDad ]
