Are you a warewolf at night (if that's how you spell it?) :lol:

Werewolf is the usual spelling. The etymology is somewhat disputed but the usual derivation is from Latin vir (man, male human as in virile) hence werewolf is manwolf or wolfman.

And yeah, I feel the moon. It's one of those things that's hard to measure, though - as soon as you think you might be affected by the moon, you become aware that you're trying to measure it and future measurements become invalid... :lol:

Nope.

My menstruation used to be in sync with the moon, but after my miscarriages two years ago it totally screwed up.

The scientific word is "Lycanthrope"; nickname "Thrope"

Hehe Werewolf and scientific name? I'm not teasing I just thought that sounded funny.

Anyway, the moon does effect me as I think the moon is beautiful. It doesn't even have to be a full moon out at night and when I stare up at it I feel more happy and almost like I get a feeling of guidance from it... I just mean I feel more secure when I see it for some reason

Am I the only one sort of irritated by the moon?

I'm talking out of my ass, but I think it would make more sense for women's menstrual cycles to be linked to the full moon because it provides better lighting and women are naturally considered more attractive to men during the cycle. Which means a greater amount of men would be willing to mate with the women which means greater reproductive success!

Keeping in mind that the night time is the most sensible time to mate when almost the entirety of the day would have to be dedicated to hunting and scavenging/gathering.

so I'm basically thinking its vestigially practical. In case someone somehow finds a way to take that out of its obvious context.

Here's a PDF about Moon trends and stock trading by the moon... written by a bank.

I dipped in, thought it was pretty interesting.

Heh, that's just "wolfman" written in Greek.

Only when it's a full moon. I feel more energetic, sleep far less than usual and seem to be more courageous than usual.

At work (the local high school) students seem wilder than usual and there seem to be more violent outbursts than usual during the full moon phase...

I only knew that because it was in a Special Unit2 episode. SyFy channel was showing a marathon that day
