Well, the whole thrust of this thread is the strength of the werewolf, not the appearance. As has been debated (and debated and debated) on this board, the level of musculature is not directly proportional to strength. There are all kinds of other variables. If the question changes to how much muscu...

Yeah, I'd have to agree with the brick wall thing. If I could get through something with a few swings of a sledgehammer, then a werewolf should be strong enough to go through it with even greater ease. Brick wall - depends upon how thick. If it's the brick facade of a typical residential structure, ...

In fact, he's admitted in interviews that when he was doing research, he couldn't find much werewolf folklore at all, so the film is based mostly on his own ideas. Classic Hollywood solution: When in doubt, make stuff up. Seriously, though. The reason I still think this is a little bizarre is that ...

The werewolf as an analogy for the jews?
Wow. That's definently a new one. I think somebody has waaaaay too much spare time.

Snarly werewolves are cool.

I'll pick: having sex while drinking beer (all I'll need is one of those hats with the cupholders and the straw).

Meaning, it doesn't involve a surgion picking up parts off a table and sewing and grafting them onto the body, but instead involves fooling the body into growing into a new shape, and growing fur from the skin, rather than grafting pre-made patches onto the body, plugging in a fabricated tail to th...

What exactly do you mean by non-surgical, non-artificial? Remember that we're not talking about a purely cosmetic alteration -- you'd have heightened senses, claws, perhaps even enhanced agility, strength and reflexes.

Like anything regarding mythology, ask one question, get ten answers. Keep in mind that when much of this mythology was coming about, Europe was a very provincial place. People could go their entire lives without ever going more than ten or fifteen miles from their birthplace. As a result you find a...

Yeah. Never laugh at the ballet dancers. Those people are strong.

(EDIT) I was responding to Vuldari, BTW. Hi, Vrikasatma. Nice to see we keep the same hours.

Is anybody able to get onto http://www.nationstates.net ? It's as if the site just dropped off the face of the earth. Is anybody having the same problem or is it just me being incompetent with computers (again)?

OK, it would entail huge lifestyle changes, but, well, I'd go for "the works." I'd probably have to go for a new line of work afterwards; a creature that's as much wolf as human would make a scary ER physician. I could be a surgeon. "I said 5-0 Vicryl! This is Prolene! Awrooohhh!!!&q...

*claps* Bravo, Short Tail. I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. Ah, you have to love the internet. Where did you find that?

I just don't see it as being offensive. It was more of a docu-drama than anything else. I didn't see it as being tremendously different from at least some of the stuff on the History Channel about 9/11. Even some of the dialogue on the plane came verbatim from the CVR and tapes of UA air-to-ground c...

Don't worry. Bush will be again. He's talking about attacking into Pakistan to get Bin Laden if the Pakis don't get moving and we get good intel. He's also making noises about suspending the entire concept of the exclusionary rule so that we can try terrorists and use evidence obtained through "...

No idea. I would have thought the +2 Condom of Endurance quote would have started something. Honestly though, I've never heard of what you're talking about. TSR always took itself a little too seriously. I recommend you try to get a copy of Encyclopedia Magica (I'm sure it's out of print, though). I...

I disagree (and I'll probably get flamed for saying this). I think United 93 was tastefully done, and the majority of the families of the victims of Flight 93 (although admittedly not all of them) were okay with it and felt it was a good portrayal of thier lost loved ones. I'm paraphrasing someone e...

Hey, wait a minute. Wasn't there a live action Star Wars TV show back towards the end of the 80s? It was called "Ewok Adventure" or something like that (I think). It was about a family who's ship crashes on Endor and are forced to try to survive with the help of the Ewoks. No Empire, no Re...

What?! Oh, dear Lord. Please, make the pain stop!

Okay. This comes out of Ralith's post on page three of the "Do you think real werewolves exist?" thread. http://calypso-blue.com/werewolf/viewtopic.php?t=488 Ralith was making a long, complicated post, but one thing he said caught my attention. I tend to disagree with a certain number of p...

Ghostship: The opening scene in which the mutiny by the bought-off crew begins and most of the passengers and officers are cut down by the winch-cable snapping across the deck. Thirteen Ghosts: Scene in which the guy is bisected by a sliding glass door. House on Haunted Hill: Opening scene in which ...

Cool. I'm sure it sucks to have people always looking at you funny... but that's still so cool. Can you post a picture?

Yeah, that's basically my point. If you need to limit things because you have a need for psuedo-scientific explainations for stuff, then: Werewolves cannot gain any mass during the transformation. They stay the same size and weight, even in gestalt form. Werewolves live an average lifespan of about ...

I voted for the 400 year old werewolf, just because I like the idea of the regenerative capabilities giving near immunity to the things that cause aging. However, just to play devil's advocate... Most creatures have regenerative abilities to some extent. If you cut your finger, the cut heals eventua...

Did anyone make a movie about Pearl Harbor five years after the fact? If memory serves, the first movie about Pearl Harbor was sometime in 1942. The United States lost no time in capitalizing on the propaganda value of the events of December 7th 1941. Different time -- Different country in many way...
