IN midevil times, and still to this day by some people, there exists a form of lunacy brought on by the cycles of the moon. Mainly the full moon. Rumors of warewolves, temporary insanity, and murderous behaviour during a full moon have been around for thousands of years. In fact I saw a study that refered to police thinking that nights where the moon was full they responded to more crimes, and more "unusual" calls then most nights.

This form of unusual intermittent behavior has been come to be known as Lunacy, or being a lunatic.

Here is where people flame me for posting useless knowledge that has nothing to do with CF, or spelling errors, unappealing format, immortal conspiracy or whatever lunar induced anger they have.

Hope you all had a spooktacular Haloween.
