OK, on another Message Board I go to, we were talking about Werewolves, and someone from Europe came on and said that if you find an Oak Tree and urinate on it at the Full Moon, you will become a Werewolf.
Now, the thing is, I have never heard of this method of becoming a werewolf before, and I'm wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this method, or was the guy blowing smoke out of his posterior, so to speak.

Fixed ;), and yes, he was blowing smoke out his ass. That must be the most retard myth of how to become a werewolf that I've ever heard. If he was being serious, he needs to go to an asylum. I just hope no one is actually stupid enough to try this (as in trying to become a werewolf by peeing on the tree). Also, if this were true, then there'd be plenty of people would be werewolves by now.

Honestly, I've considered it(I know, I'm VERY stupid...)
He is from Canada, if that changes anything
The only problem is that the only trees we have around here are Maples :D

There are numerous documented ways to become a werewolf historically. A great book that outlines some of them is The Werewolf Delusion by Ian Woodward. Or, if your looking for something more modern try The Magic of Shapeshifting. (Can't recall the author of it right now.)
Some of the ways are likely to kill you, cause serious harm, land you in a padded room, or on the bad side of the law, be warned, more likely than they are to bestow werewolfry.
I haven't heard of pissing on an oak tree under a full moon as a method, but there are rituals as simple as sleeping in an open field under a moon, or rolling in dirt etc. so it COULD be a way, at least historically, I wouldn't hold my breath in anticipation of it working to do anything than relieve a full bladder though so far as probability goes of it tricking out someone with werewolfry.
There's a Greek legend where a werewolf pisses in a circle around his clothes turning them to stone so they are not distrubed while he is out wolfing around ansuring he can safely recloth himself and transform back into a human later on the subject of urine and rituals.
