"Everyone says, 'Oh, it's the gravity in the full Moon yanking the baby from the womb.' I'm thinking maybe there's another explanation. So if you look at the gestation period of the human female, it's basically about 295 days. Not from their date of missed period, but from when you actually got pregnant. (...) How long is the average cycle between consecutive full Moons? 29-and-a-half days. So take 29-and-a-half days, multiply it by ten, you get 295 days. So if your child was born under a full moon, that just simply meant you got knocked up under a full moon, ok? And no one argues the romantic effects of a moonlit night." Neil deGrasse Tyson |

"Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief." C.S. Lewis |
