The world is set to experience the biggest full moon for almost two decades when the satellite reaches its closest point to Earth next weekend.

This phenomenon has reportedly heightened concerns about 'supermoons' being linked to extreme weather events - such as earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. Previous supermoons occurred in 1955, 1974 and 1992

Never mind the big moon, think of all the loony's surfacing..

Certainly with all this vampire and wolf crap on every single tv channel.

One of my friends back home work for the police and says you see the weirdest things on a full moon night, its not just a myth.

On the other hand, it will be interesting to see , as there is not as much light pollution here in Switzerland as back in Ireland.

Shit, it is the night before the KFC Quest.... I hope that won't start the labor, I would hate to miss the KFC Quest.....

I would bet that the " Finger Lickin`good " chicken would cause that more than the moon... But you just never know... Do Ya ???

I am sure your little chicken will be fine

excellent, will pull the dust out of my telescope for some observations

Groovy it'll be my 24 year anniversary and my oldest friends b-day. I am changing the danger into excitement and antiiiiiicipaaaation.

Well if it does happen, hopefully a thoughtful fellow Effer will bring you a bucket for a snack .

It has caused eruptions in the passed..

I can already feel the slow onset of the symptoms:-

- I'm becoming more hairy;
- My teeth and fingernails are growing and becoming sharper;
- My nose is getting bigger and protruding more.

I can't believe it ... I thought I was over this ... you see,

I used to be a werewolf, but I thought I was all right nooooowwwww

Interesting. Am looking forward to seeing this...

There's some major BS in that article.

Since when have earthquakes and volcanoes been described as "weather". For the earthquake, "Around the time" is 2 months later in March.

Sorry, spoiling the fun, I love a full moon.

For a moment there, I thought we'd see a revival of brooding teen vampire flicks

That's not a moon......

Why does the thread title refer to a new moon?

Stangely enough, we've got a real one orbiting around Saturn (I believe it's the good planet)

or maybe sooner

Just a reminder of who said what --sadly this tsunami is the 6th biggest on record

And that full moon is still 8 days away. Obviously it's going to destroy the world.
