Well, Craven. I suppose you will dispute that more boy babies are born during wartime than during times of peace. Believe me I have been on the beach at high tide, and the moon never beams without bringing me dreams, etc..etc..etc...
The moon exerts no more gravity at the full than at other times, surely????!!!
"Fullness" is to do with the moon's relationship to the sun as seen from the earth, not the moon being closer or nearer????
Babies and war has to do with sex and death!!!
Well, Deb. Then why are folks so concerned with the dunes at high tide? When a hurricane occurs here and when the moon is full at the same time, the water comes up over A1A. I don't know one damn thing about physics or lunar stuff, but I know what I see, and the tide rises and the tide falls. then, of course, there is neap tide.
We all understand about the baby boomers, but we often don't understand about the process that governs the birth of children. The mysteries of the universe are yet to be told, and who is to say that science and physics governs anything.

Why?

I'm puttin' the word out, "Letty gets
randy under the moonlight".
Well,
BoatSafeKids has easy to understand explanations about tide and moon and sun ... :wink:
In Napoli where love is king
When boy meets girl here's what they say
When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not
Dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore

Gets randy, Craven? Is that a movie sequel to Get Shorty?
Cav, what's a canajun doing singing Italian stuff?
Walter, doesn't Isaac Newton come in there somewhere, or perhaps Isaac Walton?
No. Letty, but Warrant Officer Walter Hinteler, navigator (res. ret.) in the 1st Landingcraft Squadron and 6th Minesweeper Squadron German Navy
Oh, my Gawd, Walter. That's right. I totally forgot:
Blue, navy blue, I'm as blue as I can be
'cause my steady boy said "Ship ahoy"
And joined the Nay-ee-ay-vee
He said he wanted to settle down
And let me be his girl
But first he had to do a little travelin' around
And see the whole wide world
That's why I'm
CHORUS
I got a letter yesterday from Tokyo
And a souvenir
A walky-talky wind-up little China doll
That says "Wish you were here"
CHORUS
He's comin' home to see me on a weekend pass
A forty-eight hour day-ate
That boat he's sailin' on just better get here fast
'cause I can hardly wait
Till then I'm

Bloooooooooooooooooooooooooood
I don't know about ovulation cycles, but from time to time I have worked for hospitals. The head nurse in the obstretrics wing knew to schedule extra help during a full moon to handle the unusual high rates of births that usually occurred.
Letty, Dean Martin is Canadian?

Birth rates are
not statistically affected by full moons.

Maybe you're right, but you would never convince
those head nurses who rarely found they had
more staff than they needed.
Similarly, I might never convince a buddy of mine that he was not visted by aliens...
Nevertheless, strength of conviction is no substitute for veracity.
It was my understanding, Fox and CDK, that the gravitational forces of a full moon is what created incipient labor of women approaching full term.
Good excuse for a Labor party. <groan>
oops, sorry. Barometer rising. Forgot where I was.
Again - how is the gravitational force of a full moon greater than that of any other moon?
"Fullness" is about the relationship of the moon with the light from the sun, as seen from the earth.
I can only imagine gravitational pull being greater if the moon is closer to earth when "full" than at other times???????? How does this work???
