The Full Moon
Front-Ranger:
It affects me most right before the full moon. Or maybe it's that, by the time the moon is full, I've gotten control of myself!
Lynne:
I think this makes perfect sense...the moon controls the tides...we're something like 70% water...how could it not affect us at some level?
Jeff Wrangler:
Yes, definitely. Ask any police officer or any bartender!

I was thinking mostly along the lines of blood, when I posted this. But you right, we are mostly made of water. It seems weird to me how something hundreds of thousands of miles away, in space, can have such an affect on us. But apparently it does. :-\
That is something I will NEVER understand!

Someone has to be the odd one out, and this time it's me ;D.
A No from me. All those alleged phenomenons, all those bartender, midwife, policeman, or whoe-else-not experiences are cases of selective perception.
I'm just reading a scientific book. Interestingly, it has one (small) chapter about the full moon and its alleged effects. It is about a scientific experiment in a German hospital. All nurses, midwifes, doctors on the obstetric unit swore that there is an effect. They said: in nights with the full moon, significantly more children are born. (I had heard of this believe before, it's quite common).
Over two years, they made a statisitc, for everybody to see. A red dot for a baby-girl, a blue dot for a baby-boy. After the two years, no significant difference was found between full moon nights and other nights.
Personally, I have never felt any effects of the full moon, nor has anyone in my family. I do like the full moon very much, it's beautiful, it has something dreamy to it, and I like it even more since BBM.
But effects? - No.
