or so a wise man once said
so the supermoon didn't cause the troubles in japan, but could it explain the increase in nutty behaviour here of late
the human body contains anywhere from 55% to 78% water depending on body size.
should we beware the tides of march
I inclined to think that the recent seismic activity untightened some bolts..
The ides, the ides, but what were they? the fifteenth? or where the moon was when?
St. Patrick's, the 17th
St. Joseph's and a boss's birthday, the 19th
I'm waiting for George to tell me when the ides were..
@ossobuco,
I don't think it's possible to assign a precise date of our Gregorian calendar to the ides of March of the old Roman calendar without knowing what ides you are looking for.
However, you can get some information here:
Roman calendar
@Francis,
Too thick for me to read right now, as there is a lot to explore on there.
Thank you..
Will save the link to desktop/have done.
Meantime, beware.
@djjd62,
I don't get the whole full moon thing.
Isn't the moon's mass and hence effect on fluids the same no matter where the sun's light happens to be falling on it?
I don't really get the tide thing, much less the alleged full moon effect being explicable by water in the human body.
@dlowan,
nor do i, but common myth is it has some effect, and march 19th the moon will be in one of it's "supermoon" phases, closest it gets to the earth every so often
this thread was more a piss take on the upsurge in lunacy around here lately
@dlowan,
It's the distance between the moon and earth, I believe.
All you ever wanted to know about the connections between the Japanese earthquake, the tsunami, and UFO's and supermoons. Be sure you are wearing your tinfoil hat before clicking:

Add to that the 2012 hysteria and you've got tickets for a seat in the hall.
Here's more on the source of the supermoon theory:

Djjd, I think the hall the lunatics are in is located in the Hotel California. They are running down the hall, trying to escape the beast who, unbeknownst to them cannot be killed be the steely knife.
Aren't they in for a nasty surprise when they try to checkout, thinking, naively, that they can leave.........?
Dinner anyone? The wine is luscious, 1969 I believe.

Hey, unless you've got some micrographs with tiny black specks that prove the existence of mammals from mars, you ain't got nothin'.
