"I don't know if there are men on the moon, but if there are they must be using the Earth as their lunatic asylum." George Bernard Shaw
Phase of the Moon Today: Waning Crescent 2% of Full, cloudy again no visible moon :(
Many people believe that the phase of the Moon has an influence on human behaviour. The academic term for this is the transylvanian effect. Many health care profesionals claim that their work area is busier during this time and the patients have a noted change in behaviour. According to the article Madness and the Moon: The Lunar Cycle and Psychopathology this is not consistent with the evidence collected from various studies around the world. Of six studies on the relation of suicide and lunar cycles five failed to find a positive correlation between the two. I am a sceptic an ddo not believe that there is a connection, I believe it is just an old wives tale and the research seems to prove it.
