The moon’s orbit is nearly circular. It simply does not make much difference. The moon, however, is slowly moving away from the earth at about an inch or so a year.

A full moon means that the sun and moon are pulling from opposite directions.

Well, gee, what did it cause 18 years ago? The last of the Buffalo Bills' Super Bowl appearances?

On March 19, the moon will swing around Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years, lighting up the night sky from just 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers) away. On top of that, it will be full. And one astrologer believes it could inflict massive damage on the planet. The Latin name for the moon is "Luna". The word lunatic was derived from that root.
In spirit with the title of the article, I'll call this lunacy
Some folks today believe that the moon does influence human behavior.

Maybe THIS “disaster”: Obama becomes disoriented and steps in front of a speeding truck.

Remember all the destruction that happened 18 years ago? Plus everyone knows that a full moon will weigh even more than at other phases. This could be even worse than last time.

So what happened 18 years ago? Umm, nothing, right? And so what if it is a full moon? It's still 221,567 miles away. Doesn't matter if it's full, quarter, new or crescent.Minorities, women, and children were affected however.
We must pass legislation banning the Moon immediately.
To: reg45
OK, my bad. But I’m still not impressed.

Some folks today believe that the moon does influence human behavior.I spent some time in a position to observe peoples actions and behaviors as they relate to different times of the moon phases.
Not necessarily related to criminal activity, just activity that was not "normal", so to speak.
Let me assure you...the moon phases most certainly do influence human behavior.
Or maybe I just observed one hell of coincidence.
Ask any cop, they'll tell you very quickly that the phases of the moon influence human behavior, and not always to the good.
