Bad Moon Rising: The Myth of the Full Moon

Quote:

For centuries, mankind has been intrigued by the notion that a full moon — which rises tonight — drives people to madness, crime, suicide and major crisis.

It's one of the most enduring myths in human history, embedded in popular culture and folklore from Transylvania and the myth of the werewolf to Creedence Clearwater Revival's breakaway 1969 hit, "Bad Moon Rising." The word "lunacy" has its roots in the Latin word for moon.

I have seen an over run in labor rooms with babies during a full moon.:laugh:

The full moon is the strongest point following the waxing moon phases. According to spiritualists, this is the time when your life is most changed by the coming of various events (as opposed to influences going away during the waning moon phases).

and I hear it might rain today too.

The lunatic is on the grass...................
