Default The Full Moon explanation

Tonight it's another full moon, a really bright one too.

Paul noticed I post more stuff when it's full moon, at least according to
him... I am not sure if it's just a joke or a true observation.

But I am indeed feeling more at easy now that it's a full moon, not
completely sure if it has something to do with it but it could.

So here is my hypothesis:

"It's a psychological effect. Humans feel more at easy when it's a full
moon, they will get less quickly surprised during the night by foes."

(The light from the moon does seem to light up the dark street a little bit
The street is dark since a few days, maybe it's an experiment at
saving electricity.)

Bye,
Skybuck.

Default The Full Moon explanation

I can vaguely remember reading about the european union wanting to combat
"light pollution" at night.

I does have me wondering what would happen to the electrical grid if all
lights are turned on and off at the same time ?!?

Surely they not stupid enough to do that like that ?!?

Surely it's done "gradually" ?!

Maybe if they are stupid this is what killed my pentium LOL.

I plugged it in just as the lights were switching off ! LOL.

^ Crazy theory probably not the case

Or maybe this switching on/off creates "transients"

Bye,
Skybuck =D

That is AMAZING, I always thought we had only ONE moon! But we seem to have
another full moon too!

It seems more likely that you'll post about full moons when there is
one. Given that you're clearly inclined to post about full moons, this
may itself be a sufficient explanation for your alleged increased
posting rate at full moons.

I thought that two NASA probes are on their way to assess if the moon
they're bound for really is full (consists of what materials, anyway).

It makes it easier to hit the target when the moon is full rather than
when it disappears.

If that target is on Earth, on a clear night, yes.

If the Moon itself is the target... well ... it's a great leap for
mankind, but only a small step in space.

You've got to lead that moon pretty far when shooting at it.....

Amazingly the lights in the street have come on again, and there is some
kind of big machine outside which was apperently used to do something....
maybe dig or replace the lights... don't know what the hell happened to the
lights, maybe the ground connection, or maybe some electrical phenomenon
occured... the street is still somewhat under construction... strange isn't
it... the lights are orange. (I do suspect it is either lightning strikes or
the festival which somehow caused it, or maybe just construction... could be
coincidence ?)

Skybuck

No I only recently started to investigate Pauls' observation

Can anybody double check his observation to see if it's really true ?!

Or maybe it's just google, maybe google likes storing my postings on a full
moon, and throws away the rest !

Bye,
Skybuck
