Full Moon

[Alix]

Do you think the full moon affects human behavior? This is just an opinion poll, we don't require scientific data to support your beliefs. Anecdotes are nice though!

 

[Andy M.]

I know it does for me. The howling at the moon bothers the neighbors, but only my SO is bothered by all the shedding after the full moon passes.

 

[Alix]

Hope you have a good vacuum wolfy...I mean Andy.

 

[Ken]

I vote 'no'.

 

[Alix]

Frightenstein?

 

[middie]

NO way. People are responsible for their own actions, not the moon lol

 

[bethzaring]

I voted nope, but I do not believe that it has NO effect on behavior. I used to work on a maximum security ward at a state mental hospital and I watched this very closely. And I found the inmates were not any more likely to act out during a full moon than any other time. The most unruly behavior did not occur during the full moons.

 

[VeraBlue]

Yes, a thousand times, yes.

Haven't you seen the movie 'Moonstruck'?

 

[wasabi]

It affects DH.

 

[Half Baked]

When I bartended, it sure seemed to affect my customers.

 

[amber]

Yes, the full moon always affects me in a positive way. I love looking at it, along with the stars.

 

[JMediger]

As a teacher - YES, especially hormonal teenagers! But seriously, I do think it does ...

So that's why my usually polite teenager was a bit mouthy! Good to know!

 

[JoAnn L.]

Yes..Yes.. I worked with the public for many years. We could always tell when there was a full moon. Ask any policeman.

 

[urmaniac13]

I don't think so either... it is just that some people might jump on this myth to use it as an excuse for doing something silly or crazy.

 

[MarionW]

He-- Yes! Without a doubt! I will not go into detail, but the moon phases are to live by. It only requires one to take notice. Then, you will believe. He-- Yes!

[Maidrite]

I voted no, But it would be hard to prove to a Plumber or anyone around him ! Did I say that ? Got any Cheese ?

Sorry Alix just had to

 

[licia]

Yes..Yes.. I worked with the public for many years. We could always tell when there was a full moon. Ask any policeman.

Could that be because they could see better at night to do their dastardly deeds?

 

[buckytom]

lol licia, dastardly deeds.
i'm picturing boris badenoff and natasha, tying up poor penelope pittstop on the railroad tracks, under a full moon.

i've seen many strange things at night, having worked midnight shifts for so many years. i'd say the weather has more to due with a reduction or increase in crime, but that's about it (bad weather = criminals, lazy by nature, stay home). lunar cycles don't seem to have a measureable affect on humans.

hunters and fishermen swear by lunar cycles, however. not sure why.

affects my felines!!!!!!!! they get wacky!
