- DeskFlyer, on 08/17/2008, -3/+25I was outside looking at the moon last night and I haven't suffered any ill effekcjhivuo=-=9 7

"I wish I were a woman. I'd be more tuned in to the moon." - inactive, on 08/16/2008, -1/+18Wait until the next few weeks when the moon is full and biggest of the year.
- inactive, on 08/16/2008, -1/+14so that's why. i'm so. comfortably numb. :)
- bullioncube, on 08/17/2008, -1/+13This is *****, it's a full moon where I am and I definately don't feel anyth
- megaton, on 08/17/2008, -2/+13The news media is all reputable and *****, but... stats, please?
Last time I heard, crimes went up dramatically during a full moon... except (it turns out!)... they don't.
"Some doctors even dub it 'the Transylvania effect'." Which ones?
"Scientists remain baffled..." Which ones?
So.... numbers? Anyone? Bueller...? Bueller?
"Of more than 7,200 patients, 129 were found to have medically unexplained stroke symptoms, or MUSS." Oh. 1%. That's...statistically significant. Right?
"The researchers said their results, published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research..." Ooooooh... *psychosomatic*...
Buried as ***** retarded. - BeShirtHappy, on 08/16/2008, -4/+15It is rumored that maternity wards are busier during full moons. I was born during a full moon and my son was born during a full moon...just saying. :)
- sivsta, on 08/16/2008, -3/+13I hear parasites are more active when the full moon hits. And we all have them in our gut/body etc.
- MarkusX, on 08/16/2008, -1/+9Like tonight - on a full moon I also feel compelled writing a comment.
- espoandy, on 08/17/2008, -0/+8Wow...that was a terrible pun
- inactive, on 08/17/2008, -2/+9That's no moon.
- newms32, on 08/17/2008, -1/+8Well I'm convinced.
- stigma15, on 08/17/2008, -0/+6Whether the Moon is waxing, waning, quarter or full, it has the same mass/gravity/tidal-force-effect. Just because you only see a sliver of the Moon doesn't mean the rest of it isn't still there.
- megaton, on 08/17/2008, -2/+8It MUST be true!
- wontstoptalking, on 08/17/2008, -1/+7♫Relax....I'll need some informa--tion....FIRST. Just the basic facts....can you show me where it hurts...♫
- diggadigga, on 08/17/2008, -0/+6"The number of people treated for mystery numbness and co-ordination loss rises significantly on full-moon nights – like tonight."
This was my reaction:

The article was semi-readable until that last bit. Then I closed the window and moved on. - wontstoptalking, on 08/17/2008, -0/+4I feel compelled to Digg comments by Diggers who are compelled to write them.
- 47f0, on 08/17/2008, -1/+5Bizarre. I've always wondered why I get numbness and a loss of coordination during the full moon. I just always figured it was my nightly quart of Dominican brandy. Apparently not - now, all I have to figure out is what's causing those symptoms the other 27 nights.
- SDGrimshaw, on 08/17/2008, -2/+6I want to read about this topic, but I don't want to read about it in the Daily Express.
However, if I bury it, then I will be shown fewer articles like this - that might well be from reputable news sources - and if I don't bury it I will continually be blasted with crap like this.
What's a feller to do? (be buried most likely) - zer0nix, on 08/17/2008, -1/+4well hey, it affects the tide, why wouldn't it affect humans?
- thegrantman, on 08/17/2008, -2/+5Buried for being an unsubstantiated observation.
- TheMidnight, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2Mom?
- megaton, on 08/17/2008, -1/+3APPARENTLY diggers don't know what "psychosomatic" means.
- Simonofsocal, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2Wow, I'm feeling numb, and uncoordinated, and there's a full moon out right now. that must be the cause, it can't be the fact that I just finished my tenth drink. No, it's the full moon.
- bonyicecream, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2More like Werestrokers!
On second thought....that might, er... come off a bit wrong. - megaton, on 08/17/2008, -1/+3I see what you did there!
*mourns* - Yage2006, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2"experts" right.
Experts in *****.

- rharris, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2Wow. My mom had a stroke last night. She's in the hospital now.
- inactive, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2Yes, moon is seen bigger when it's nearer to Earth.
- TheMidnight, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2 Rowers: Stroke, stroke stroke!
Peter Griffin: Stop mocking me! - imakecomments, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2No, the stroke's only effect was on his spelling.
http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/ - bullioncube, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1Holy *****! You spend all your time correcting everyone's spelling!
- bullioncube, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1Do you go around correcting peoples use of spelling all day? Good grammar is useful, but teh intranet ees no place 2 corect peeples speling, not evry1 tackes teh tyme 2 youse coreckt spelin.
- Ellipsys, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1Those with certain protozoan and parasitic infections , have enhanced symptoms during the full moon as certain organisms reproduce roughly on a lunar schedule. There may be many reason for lunar-linked phenomena, but parasitic infection is one of them.
- DeFex, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1is it worse than the daily mail? inquiring minds want to know!
- Meocross, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1Because we are sitting on it >_>
- flashback99, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1wooo the mooon. come on guys, it's a rock in space and doesnt really do that much considering there's more important ***** we do like eat junk food that causes strokes.
- rasde, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1looks like its time to blow up the moon... like i did with that bitch last night oooo0o0oo0ohh
- s0nicfreak, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1Makes sense since many women will ovulate at the full moon.
- BXRWXR, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1Must resist... Can't stop...
Aggghhhhhh - PLUS ONE! - 420buddah, on 08/17/2008, -1/+2I like to get high during a full moon.
- hazard99, on 08/17/2008, -0/+1If this was an honest statement, the lack of logic would be astounding.
- brad3378, on 08/16/2008, -1/+2......or plumbers without a belt?
- petebert, on 08/17/2008, -1/+1arrrgghh, this is the big one elizabeth, i'm coming!
- hazard99, on 08/17/2008, -1/+1Amazing, he must have had a stroke and on the way down hit his mouse, which happened to be on the "Save Reply" button, and posted in a unfinished thought!
- Meocross, on 08/17/2008, -0/+0Must..Not.. Ty-
