I had been talking to the radio telescope people in Massachusetts about the possibility of the full moon giving off some sort of radiation that could affect the Pineal and moods. They said they used the full moon as a "calibration check." A local astronomy professor had told me that the full moon acts as a 300 deg K blackbody radiator, hence there are terahertz (10 to 100 micrometers) wavelengths that can possibly do this during the ~29 day full moon "spike".
Johnny Carson was a strong believer in the effects of the full moon on the behavior of his audiences, so when he commented "when there is a heavy cloud cover during the full moon the behavior is more normal". McMahon said "when a tree falls in the woods and no one sees it, it doesn't make a sound". Just for the heck of it I sent him a mailgram, figuring it would go in the out basket. Lo and behold the next night I got phone calls about an hour or so before his program airs in this time zone telling me that J.C. (Richard Pryor & George Carlin were guests) read my note and was arguing with McMahon about whether or not Frederick Sparber in Belen, New Mexico was "a fake". This prompted people from all over the US and Canada to call information to get my phone number. Even Satellite providers asked if their GHz downfeed was going to affect people in an adverse way. The jury is still out on what the elusive 10 -30 terahertz (laser) frequencies that are being touted for medical use and through-the-wall surveilence will do to moods. BTW. many plant species use the lunar cycle in their "sex life".
