Werewolf Tendencies?

Isn't that a new moon?

What in the sam hell is going on here?  The human brain is capable of convincing itself of anything when it really wants to.

Some people are more violent and exhibit “werewolf” tendencies during a full moon, a study published in the respected Australia Medical Journal reveals.

You can’t have a tendency to be something that doesn’t exist.  That should be a rule of medicine.  Just like people cannot show “Incredible Hulk” tendencies, they cannot show “werewolf” tendencies.

“Of the 91 patients, 21 (23 percent) presented during the full moon – double the number for other lunar phases,” Ms Calver said.
“Sixty-six percent were under the influence of alcohol and/or recreational drugs and five attacked staff.  Some of these patients attacked the staff like animals (by) biting, spitting and scratching. One might compare them with the werewolves past, who are said to have also appeared during the full moon.”

Hold on.  21 out of 91 came in on the full moon, and 14 of these people were pretty drunk or on drugs.  5 of those 14 intoxicated people attacked the staff and “some” of those 5 bit, spit and scratched the staff.  All of a sudden this is enough evidence to compare these people to werewolves?!  They were drunk and on drugs in a hospital wearing nothing but a backwards robe.  How else are you supposed to attack someone in that position other than biting, scratching and spitting?  I guess you could shoot them with the beam of light coming out of your forehead, but then you’d be showing “cyclops” tendencies and that would skew these results.
