Every shift cop I've talked with dreads full moon nights. At first, I thought it was in jest. It's not.

NASA doesn't think so. link

WTF? I was just asked by a random person at a restaurant if I'm affected by the full moon! It was at a Greek restaurant, celebrating by fathers birthday, and I was taking a bathroom break when I walk past this table of middle aged women and one of them asked me this. No they were not milfs! They were more than likely pretty drunk and talking about some sort of stupid occult stuff. I have really long hair so maybe they thought I would be of the same type?

since the moon affects the tides and the tides are made of water and humans are composed of 61.8 percent water

then yes, you are affected by the full moon.

wikipedia reports 55%/60% for women/men. Therefore men should be more affected. Even moreso if men drink a lot on full moon nights.

and they do!

Facts don't matter. Cops still claim to believe this. Cops from different cities and states in the u.s.

I never dissected it but the common response is that people are 'crazier'. This could still be true since most interactions between cops and civilians don't result in a recorded charge.

I don't have an opinion. My own experience is that our natural state of craziness is not enhanced by this event. But then, I don't have a problem walking under ladders if there's a black cat nearby either.

I have heard its just because there is more light for late night stupidity to occur.
