And regarding astrology... perhaps you should start with the moon article. And don't believe everything you read on the internet. Humans will say anything to support their interests... and there is lots of money in astrology and other superstitions.

This is one of those times I wish we had a like button yet again because I certainly like your post.
It is surprising where you find folk believe an urban myth.
The reality of the Moon urban myth has been around for years and yet so many folk still have their head in the past days of lunacy.
And sayings...and quotes. So often wrong yet folk wheel them out mistaking their cuteness for fact.
I particulary like " what does not kill you will make you stronger"....Usually if something near kills you the result is a body much weakened by the experience and you are never as strong as you were prior to the near killing you event.
A friend in an effort to comfortt me after my back operation said " Oh well what does not kill you makes you stronger"...I didn't say anything but a casual observation would have told him after all my back problems I was considetably weaker than before.
Another...
There are no two snow flakes the same...who has looked at all the snowflakes that ever existed to be able to say no two are alike...and I have only heard that from folk who have never seen snow in their life.
But John is probably correct that the thread has left the track and maybe a thread on urban myth and superstition could be interesting.
