the moon

[sandman666]

is it true that the moon affects womans menstral cycle?if so how?

[joggerjayne]

The Moon pulls at water, hard enough to create the tides.

Our bodies are almost all water.

So ... erm ... that's it, really

[mibn2cweus]

If every woman had a menstrual cycle twice a day at high or low tide one might suspect some correlation. They do not even coincide with a certain phase of the Moon nor do they appear in concert. Where's the supposed relationship?

The variance of gravity at the Earth�s surface contributed by the Moon is less than one part in a million, like farting while going to the third floor in a lift . . . not to mention that the Moon does not even exist!

[wildwood]

It is a mere coincidence. How would our close relatives like chimps get on? Their cycle is about 37 days.

Jayne's theory falls apart

[sara3]

Jayne, you're in SCIENCE.. get you ;o)

[emilia-faye]

And every woman having their periods at the same time every month would mean that boots sell out of, *you know what* all on the same day!....
