does it affect human behaviour? if it affects the tides the way it does then surely the gravitational pull MUST have some effect on the human body since we're 2/3 water.

woof woof there i think it does

Sure, anyone that works in a mental hospital will tell you. Seriously.

lol i'm SERIOUS (shock, horror). if the moon has the ability to shift oceans then affecting the water in a human shouldn't be too much trouble. i'm convinced this IS the case. just curious to know how/if it affects behaviour.

Yes
Have you ever seen pilipala on a full moon?

My mam used to work in one always dreaded a full moon

funny enough, now u come to mention it............

I used to be a werewolf but I'm alright noooooooooooooooooow

The police make sure to have extra dispatches out on full moons because they have a lot more action on those nights than the rest of the month. If that doesn't answer your question I'm not sure what will.

are you trying to suggest that the POLICE act strange on full moons?

here's what i found:
The fullness of the moon has always been blamed for catastrophes in both nature and human beings. It got worse over the years that even insanity, which is believed to be fluctuating with the phases of the moon, is given another name "lunacy"(comes from the Latin word 'luna' which means moon). In some cases, the moon was used as an excuse of a committed crime. England lawyers in the 19th-century used the "guilty by reason of the full moon" defense for their cases - pointing out that their clients could not be held responsible for acting under the control of the moon.

Psychologist Arnold Lieber, from the University of Miami, dug deeper into this theory. The year was 1974 when he began conducting studies centered on the crime rates of Miami-Dade County in Florida. From the data gathered, he concluded that full moon has direct effect over the increase in homicide rates. He is so sure with his findings that he contacted the media, Miami police, and a hospital administrator to warn them about the danger that comes with a full moon. In 1978 he wrote a best-selling book called, "Lunar Effects: Biological Tides and Human Emotions", which made his studies more known to the general public. Lieber didn't stop there; he published another book in 1996 and continued to expand his theory about the moon's influence on human behavior.



it's an interesting topic...scientists are still working on it

thanks for that Emanuellla. i'd love to get a hold of those books. think they'd make interesting reading.

Moonfox is correct...I was a Paramedic for quite a while...trust me...full moons DO affect behavior You'd be amazed at some of the things police and EMS see...especially during a full moon phase...

I used to have a best friend that was director of nurses at a mental hospital. He said all hell would break loose on a full moon.


How are you, by the way. I'm Dana. I really like your best friend. As a matter of fact, my daughter - she's 12 - saw her picture today and opened her profile. She was in shock. She said "She can't be 50. I thought she was in her 30's!!" I agree with her.

Nice to meet you.

hey i believe you. i just don't think enough research has been published on the subject

Never believed in the full moon theory until I started working with the mentally challenged. But boy do I believe it now!!! They were all crazy on days after full moons!!!

yes, everytime there is a full moon, I find myself being pulled out to sea

If you want to know if there are effects of a fullmoon with people, just work in a nursing home. the evidence is really strong there.
