I'm not correcting your every little mistake. Second who said I said that drooling is a bad thing. And third, wenever you see a wolf looking like that, there's always drool.

Then you're just not looking close enough. And would you want to be with someone waving a gun around? Probably not.

you shouldnt be saying that Im not looking enough cause I have the pic and looked at it countless times and it had no drooling, just because the mouth is like that doesnt mean it drools. and by the way women like big guns. a hardware you need to buy yourself.

You all seem to forget about the little road mystery (Too lazy to type the name D: -haven't slept in two days- Damn Guildwars ~ ~) Anyways, during those sightings, deep in the forest near the road there was an old house where satantic rituals were held, also animal killings. Apparently they dumped over 50 or 10 (Can't remeber) dead animals in a ditch, after finding them in the house. A lot of their pelts were missing, which would explain. The monster they were all seeing were actually sick minded idiots in animal fur o_O;.............. and the whole other description over their eyes, and body. Was probably just edgeing it on --;..... Sorry if anyone esle posted this, too tired to look ni-ya~! :D Nightnight ^^ (New... Hii :x)

I put undecided because no, werewolves do not exist now; but I do think it is possible for them to exist in the future, either by scientific means or otherwise.

I voted "no". You are right when you say there are still a lot of phenomenums we actually can't explain. But those thinks almost don't oppose our fundermental scientific models. For example, nor Einstein's theory of relativity neither the quantum theory opposes the statements of Newton's classical mechanics. It's part of both theories as a limited value.

But take the picture of werewolves we commonly have. It opposes the fundermental struktures of the models describing the natural coharences we have. And that's why I voted "no".

Its possible.....but it won't be a shapeshifting werewolf. Thats something scientists will never figure out.

Never say never. Remember that in only 500,000,000 years, the Earth will be too hot to sustain life, and some 4.5 billion years later, it will be absorbed by a red giant sun.

To make werewolves technologically possible in our lifetime, we would probably need an acceleration of existing computing technology, enough to bring about artificial intelligence. It would have the supercomputing capacity neccessary to figure out the molecular specifics of designing a virus-like agent (sorry, to all you who are sick and tired of viruses, but it works so well), that would entail both shifting and the alternate form. The form would indeed be the easy part, but there's nothing I feel inherantly impossible about shapeshifting--just very difficult. There's a lot of problems to solve, but none of them are individually functionally insurmountable. You just have to do some things that humans alone probably can't pull off, like reinventing the brain.

By the time we get to werewolves, we'll have already gotten past a ton of other medical breakthroughs, like immortality, and curing just about everything. That should help convince people it's worth trying. More likely, werewolves could be a less-intended consequence, like how accessable the Internet has made pornography. I doubt the U.S. military had that in mind when they started funding ArpaNet.

Hmmmmm........What benefits can a werewolf be to man kind? servants? pets? Don't tell me the military could use them for war purposes! If you're telling me werewolves is a possiblity, then world peace is also possible.

They don't have to serve a purpose, we've invented a bunch of things that don't have a purpose.

They serve the purpose of being something a therian can become as the ultimate physical expression of his/her beliefs :)

I would love to be alive when werewolves are made. I doubt that I, or any of us, will, but one can always dream. :)
