Cajun werewolves and... David Blaine?

Creole Folks has an article up about werewolves in New Orleans.

Werewolves were usually identified as people who lived in secluded rural areas or villages in France. They usually had a uni-brow or eye brows that ran straight across their foreheads with hairy palms. France had accused no less than 30,000 people, which were brought to trial in the 16th and 17th century and many were executed for being werewolves.

The residence of these French country villages, sailed to the New World during colonization, where they were known as the Cajuns instead of just French! Cajuns are direct descendants of the French village people, whom the French rulers thought to be hiding humans who could transform into werewolves.

The author goes on to recall reports of werewolves from his childhood. Fairly standard stuff until the end, when he not only says that he's friends with David Blaine, but that David Blaine might be a werewolf!

Then again, I'm a guy whose circle of friends includes David Blaine the "Magic Man." Not many people know(not even locals) that before he got really famous-he would bum around lower Louisiana. Maybe he's the werewolf! People in New Orleans didn't even know how to get into Plaquemines but David Blaine managed to always be walking on the 1 road that ran through the area along with hidden, out-the-way roads that hugged the river curves. I've been meaning to ask him this question for a long time.

Cause he walks on roads!
