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."

A colony of Human-Animal Hybrids has been discovered on an Island off the coast of western Australia. Authorities believe that the Hybrids represent a set of failed genetic modification experiments. It seems their twisted benefactor died unexplicably in the late 90's and the facility was deserted. All except for the current deformed inhabitants.
