As I detailed yesterday, the full moon has been said to incite odd behavior on earth.  Although science trumps this myth, the belief was extremely popular in the days of our ignorant ancestors.  Yesterday, I touched on the fact that the moon is also linked to women’s periods.  The word “menstruation” comes from the Latin mensis (month).  Mensis is derived from the Greek mene (moon), which is also the root of our words, moon and month, as the moon takes roughly a month to revolve around the earth.  People in the olden days were not big believers in coincidence. The moon had to be making girls bleed in…. you know what, I think I’ve said enough.  I’m going to go get some Purell.
