Yet another good one Jack.
On the subject of "lunacy" I work with people with learning difficulties and have met a number of people involved in this profession and relatives of our service users, who swear blind the full moon affects behaviour. However they all say the behavour is at the time of the full moon, not a couple of days after (as with spring tides) and a new moon (no moon) is never mentioned.
Another theory I have come across is that the full moon gives the most light at night and therefore gives criminals more opportunities than at other times of the month.
I think both ideas are valid but the former is very persuasive. People with learning disabities think in totally different ways to the rest of us and in my experience are more open to natural influences. If I am feeling ill or cheesed-off in work they pick up on my mood much more quickly than the staff (and they are supposedly trained for this), especially if I am trying to hide my feelings.
Keep it up.
