I don’t care what the hundreds of action research studies have shown about the non-existent correlation between the full moon and human behavior. These freaks and geeks have obviously never worked with teenagers and their teachers during a full moon. I can say without hesitation that the full moon DOES MOST CERTAINLY have an effect on the behavioral outbursts of people. AND, I don’t believe this can be attributed to media effects, folklore and tradition, misconceptions, cognitive biases, or communal reinforcement. Today was mentally and physically exhausting. Despite what “research” tells us, any and all of the follow events did or are likely to occur over the next few days in my home, at my workplace, or in the hood:
- the homicide rate
- traffic accidents
- crisis calls to police or fire stations
- domestic violence
- births of babies
- suicide
- major disasters
- casino payout rates
- assassinations
- kidnappings
- aggression by professional hockey players
- violence in prisons
- psychiatric admissions
- agitated behavior by nursing home residents
- assaults
- gunshot wounds
- stabbings
- emergency room admissions
- behavioral outbursts of psychologically challenged rural adults
- lycanthropy
- vampirism
- alcoholism
- sleep walking
- epilepsy
They really aren’t coming to take me away. I think. I’m fine … really … just venting. Don’t worry… it’s just a phase. Get it?
Coppery, red, viscous fluids. Yum.
