Do people really get MORE crazy when it is a full moon????
494848
People in cultures that spread the full moon myth do act crazier. We have set a tone that allows people to excuse themselves their behavior based on moonlight, then see the news proving it is true. It is self-induced, not actually caused by the moon or the moonlight (which is actually just reflected sunlight).\n\nP.S. Tidal theories relating to the water in human bodies have nothing to do with anything.  The moon's gravity is not increased by reflecting more light toward an observer.

Crazy...\n\n...though not in the actual insane sense.. More a random kind of craziness.

There is one full moon in a lunar month. When thre is 2full moons in a calendar mont it is called a blue moon. Hence the saying once in a blue moon, not very often.

Yes, I believe hamster activity does change with the phases of the moon slightly. For emample, with rodents in the wild under the light of a full moon activity seems increased. Whether it's more light to see by or the moon's gentle tug of gravity on the water in a mammals body I could not say for sure. It could be due to other activities in the night that change during a full moon that cause the hamster's to change their behavior in response to that as oppossed to due to the moon directly. This is just my opinion. Insofar as hamsters as pets inside the home perhaps it is in the genes from their former wild counterparts that would cause increased activity.

Sometimes it is closer to town and sometimes it is closer by the bus.Today the bus is closer to town.That makes the town closer to the bus.It really depends on whether it is a full moon or a leap year.I suggest you not go to town especially by bus.You should buy a donkey and ride in the opposite direction because if you make it to town they might lock you up for being crazy.Just stay away from town and don't get on the bus.Don't listen to the voices.I think they have already driven you crazy.Take another Prozac and stay home,at least stay home until it gets dark.Hope this helps.Good luck,you're going to need it.

The above answer was quite lengthy with added content.\n\nIt appears that "moon" is old english.\n\nThe "luna" part is Latin.  It was in Roman times, that the moon made people crazy, hence the word "lunatic".

humans are naturally light-loving creatures. I forget the scientific name, but it's true. you might notice the same attitude if it is cloudy or raining. I forget what the disorder is called, but my mom has the same thing. some of us are more sensetive to the seasons than others in the fact that we can react more dramatically when the sun goes down or is not present. I would recommend turning all the lights on and curling up w/ a good book so you can forget that it is dark outside. put a poster or picture in your room that is of a sunny beach filled with palm trees. Brighten up your surroundings. Today it is cloudy and I was feeling kinda low, so I went and tanned for a few minutes and I feel ten times better. Its all about changing your surroundings to compensate for your grumpies. good luck!

I would have to beg to differ.  I say yes, and this is my reasoning...As a child I grew up not knowing heaven and satan yet I was still plagued with bites, visions, and chills...Later as I got older I thought I was weird until I discovered something....You know when they say that when your tired you hallucinate....or when dying people are just seeing things....or when animals freak out for no reason,,, how about when you get chills but its the middle of the day and warm yet you feel somethings wrong....These are senses are body has...call them doors,  when your tired running two days no sleep its not that your halucinating you have actualy opened doors in the mind.  You know we only use ten percent..well some of the brain only reacts to sleep depervation. your body has very little energy.  And thats how you see and hear them, a full rested body feels a presence but dubs and blurs it out... when tired though you see and hear because the are on very little energy waves.  now hearing that you are probably wandering why they are here... some have stories to tell things that were not accomplished along the living.  others Are here from pain and anguish. they hurt.. and the last ones are traped to rome looking for a floater.  A body that is suseptable for usage.  Read up on outer body experiences.. there is a book about a women who had some crap go on.

i believe women have a strong connection with the moon. Not only does it have incredibly femenin power but you can keep track of our menstral cycle from the waxing and weening of the moon.\nSay you start your moon on the 15th and its the full one one month.. if your cycle is 28 days, it would be on the 14th, fullmoon the next month.

yes and no. the man in the moon is mythical. Because craters on the moon give shape and shadow on the surface of the moon you can use your imagination and see about 4 different "men" in the moon. as for the moon looking different from other parts of the world that too is a myth as the moon shows us the same face all the time -to everyone. other cultures may "see" something different but it stems from a different cultural history. the moon may look slightly different from south Africa or Australia but it is a perspective thing (it's upside down). and even then it doesn't really look different as the moon has a wobble to its orbit around earth. that is why there is not a lunar eclipse every month. the moon doesn't always pass through the shadow of the earth. it changes latitude in our sky throughout its orbit.

Actually, yes, there is such a thing as a lunar effect.  Statistically speaking things like crimes and strange phenomena build up around a full moon.  Some posit that this has to do with the fact that our bodies are made up of a high percentage of water.  Similar to the tidal effects, the moon's effect on the human body causes things to go wonky with us hormonally.

(((but I WANT the cookie!!!)))  \n\nSeriously, I like to connect with nature.  If there is a full moon, I like to go outside to a quiet place and meditate on the full moon.  Another thing that is good is to go out into the sunshine, lay yourself out spread-eagle on the bare ground, and let the rays soak through you.  Answers will start flowing and you will feel centered within yourself.  Once you have your center, directions come naturally.\n\nNow go eat a cookie.

not necessarily their sign but Astrology does have some bearing on personality....tidal forces, magnetism, season, other planets all affect the way people live....any time a natural disaster hits people always act like maniacs because these things do affect our physical bodies......when the moon is full your body temperature rises a bit and people do all sorts of things they wouldnt normally do...it is a long and difficult science, yes science, to learn but it can accurately predict not the future, but the way someone might react in a given situation

The moon has a side that always faces us! That's not always filled with light though. That's why we have phases of the moon.

It has to be. A full moon is when the earth is between the sun & moon. Just like a solar eclipce , the moon must be between the earth and sun. That is the definition of what a new moon is. I hope you won your bet.

I know that statistically, ER's are much busier on full moon nights. I used to play in a club band and it seemed like there were more fights and craziness on full moon nights.
