Argentina's leader adopts boy to stop him from becoming werewolf

There's a legend in Argentina that the seventh son in a family turns into "el lobison," which is, for lack of a better phrase, a demonic werewolf.

The Independent reports that to quash fears of this happening, Argentinian President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner adopted Yair Tawil as her godson.

It's not just ceremonial. The adopted children get a gold medal and full scholarship.
