swansont Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I don't think there's any credible evidence showing this, and even if there is, correlation is not the same as causation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herpguy Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Police records show that crime goes up by 20% or something like that on full moons. But it is probably a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcol Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Moonbeams are evil, aren't they? A well-earthed tinfoil helmet might be useful protection, but if you see fairies dancing on the moonbeams, Oh boy, you have real problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're evil, the moon is one of my favorite things in the sky to look at. Side Note: No one I know gets all crazy when it's a full moon.

Airmid Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I don't think there's any credible evidence showing this, and even if there is, correlation is not the same as causation. So the folks who invented the words "lunatic" and "moonstruck" were talking moonshine? *grins* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edtharan Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Human reproductive cycles seem to coralate to a 28 day cycle (similar to the moon). Many animals also use the moon to govern reproductive behaviour. This is just specualtion, but, could the increased aggressivness be all about males competeing with each other? It would be interesting to see thouse police recors to see if there was an equal or different increase in violence between men an women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rising moon Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I am moon in my country, my moon is romantic atmosphere. Couples really love dates under Full moon though nothing evidence facts support this. In religion. Moon is gentleness characteristic of God. This characteristic are bring along by girls/women.

pink_trike Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I once managed a large nightclub for several years, and all I can say is that more research is needed. We always increased wait staff and security for full moon weekends. When I started working there, I thought that was pretty weird. I changed my mind after observing for about a year. Many nightclubs do the same. Many seasoned law enforcment people, paramedics and urgent care staff have also observed a strong correlation. Jury's still out. The Lunar Effect: Biological Tides and Human Emotions by Arnold L. Lieber is an interesting read, but have a shaker of salt handy ( a grain of salt won't be enough).
