The Problem with Werewolves

**Breakfast with the Antichrist is doing well in the UK. Hey, Americans, you can buy it, too. It's on Amazon. The others are at http://www.lulu.com/abeautifulcow . Not to play favorites, but I'd recommend the last two**

This is sort of a companion piece to: The Problem with Vampires. I think one of the reasons I don't get so much web traffic anymore is because I severed all of my recipricol links when I changed the title of my Weblog to The Golden Age of Dog Biscuits. It sounds friendlier, don't you think? Maybe I'll put that HTML back in just to see what happens. Anyways, I've put some word salad at the bottom of this post to try and attract searchs. The word salad I've selected is from the top ten Tecnoroti searches. If you came here by that way: Please stay and enjoy.

Okay, werewolves: I really enjoyed the first Underworld movie. Yes, it was Kate Beckinsdale that had me most interested and I recommend that movie just on the basis of watching Kate Beckinsdale hopping around in a tight shiny black outfit. It's well worth the price of a rental, believe me. Aside from that, I thought it had a nice involving plot with a beautiful twist at the end. And if they had stopped at that one movie that would have been just fine.

Of course, they had to mess things up with a turd of a sequel. Oh sure, she's still hopping around in a shiny black tight outfit, but there isn't enough of that to make this one worth the rental. The plot is so complicated and obscure that I didn't know who anybody was or why they were doing anything and worse ... I didn't care. I watched the entire thing so that I wouldn't have wasted my money, but really, I shouldn't have wasted my time.

Beware of sequels, that's all you have to know.

The problem with werewolves is this: when they make their transformation into the giant fangspewing monsters they are, where does the mass come from? Suddenly a normal sized man is at least twice his size and strength and the raw material has to come from somewhere. Where? Are they just sort of inflated like balloons and there actually is no more mass but just air? But if they're inflated by air, then where does their strength come from? See. It's impossible.

The second problem is that werewolves apparently go on killing sprees every month and nobody seems to notice. Are we expected to believe that the police are so incompetent that they could miss a twenty nine day murder cycle. Also, the werewolf inevitably wakes up naked somewhere out in the open when he turns back into a human in the morning. Well, the police can certainly not notice repeated violent crimes but a naked man out in the open - they can always catch that guy. (Don't ask me how I know this).

Third, and probably finally, the numbers don't add up. This is somewhat the same problem with vampires, only on a lesser scale. Every vampire victim becomes a vampire and in a geometric progression it wouldn't take long for the whole world to be vampires. Then who's left to suck on.
Same thing with werewolves, though, granted, it doesn't seem that as many people survive the attack to become werewolves themselves. But some do. And those some are going to go out and create a geometric progression of werewolves, who make more, then more, and so on and so on until the whole planet is nothing but werewolves.

What then? It would be slower than the vampires, for sure, but it would still happen.

Heres the word salad I promised.
