Not to lend any support to pseudo-science, but an interesting thing to look
at in this respect is the police blotter of any large urban area on the
night of a full moon.  I have heard the same story from several police
officers here in Pittsburgh - craaazy things happen when there's a full
moon, not just your run-of-the-mill stabbings and domestic violence, but
the truly bizzarre.  Of course, this is probably purely subjective - people
see a full moon and all their inhibitions go out the window, but an 
interesting phenomenon nonetheless.
