Hm, incidentally, the second use of 'wifewolf' on the internet, and the
first use in that sense, seems to be going to have been by me. Made
yesterday-or-the-day-before at Slashdot. Someone suggested a person's
girlfriend was a werewolf, and I pointed out the obvious difficulty.
(Someone else beat me to 'wifewolves' though.)
I say this mostly because it's funny that just after I think about it,
you think about it too...
Maybe we can start something ;)
