Re: Re:

I think they should be strong enough to lift a small car, but not CARRY it. They'd need someone else to balance it cos a car is an awkward thing to carry, like trying to carry a big screen tv. One guy might be able to lift it, but he'd need someone on the other end to stabilize it. well not if they...

Re: Satanic...?

hey the pentagram was origanly a good symbol so what does that tell you :? The upright pentagram (with one point upward) is a fertility symbol used by Wiccans and various other pagan groups. Christians, and later, Satanists, claimed that the inverted pentagram was allegedly a symbol of the Devil, o...

Nasty Virus, that. :lol:
Then an infected werewolf should be put out of his/her/its mortal agony with extreme prejudice, from either a sawed-off shotgun or a Howitzer, preferably a Howitzer, immediately.

It would have to depend on what kind of cancer... Some kinds, such as tumors, would not affect werewolves too much, as the majority of tumor cancer cells are recognized as being "non-self." With cancers such as lymphatic cancers, like leukemia, I'm not sure what would happen, as, in cancer...

The dog should be thankful that it wasn't the mite that causes subcutaneous acariasis, a fatal skin disease in humans whose symptoms include chicken-egg-sized boils filled with mites.

Mange has a variety of causes: it can be mites, fleas, or fungus. Also, do realize that only ecto parasites are unaffected by the immune system, and that's only because they live on the surface of the skin, beyond the reach of white blood cells. If parasites were unaffected by the immune system, we ...

I would think that a werewolf would be vulnerable to diseases caused by a malfunctioning immune system, particularly when it works too hard and starts causing tissue damage.

I'd personally find a way to get an artificial scar. Find some sort of benign bacteria that'll just stunt the healing of the skin after the operation or whatever. In some tribes in Africa, they initiate children into adulthood by scarring them, in that they cut a design into the skin, and then rub ...

In my own stories, they are immune to most diseases except the Common Cold (which isn't a disease)* and a few diseases that are mutually capable of infecting Wolves and Humans (they're out there). ... *Oddly enough, the Common Cold is the body's reaction to an infection by one of many Rhinoviruses....

Actually, that exact sort of death is the stuff of most of Hollywood's classic cartoons. Like Wiley E. Coyote. Like most of the bad guys in the "classic era" of cartoons (1938-1948). The bad guy gets done by a silly little overlooked thing.... :roll: Like the way the bodybuilder beach bul...

You have a very good point. There's something, oh, what's the word... unentertaining about watching or reading about a werewolf who can shrug off 5 to 15 minutes of gunfire, a Howitzer blast, a fall off of a 500 foot cliff and a pants full of exploding dynamite as though they were bug bites, only to...

I find it helps immensely in believability that one be as aware of current scientific ideas as humanly possible when one tries to explain fantasmical organisms, such as werebeasts, scientifically.
