8.9 earthquake in Japan

What does the moon have to do with us being 70% water?

Your body is affected by the moon's grvitational pull just like the tides. On the full moon there are more lunatic activities.

I realize that, but I very much doubt the moons gravitational pull will have a significant, or any effect at all, on the tiny amount of water in the human body.

that happens when the moon is at a normal distance with earth, but march 19th the moon will be closer to the earth, think it in this way if moon can affect the seas activity, why it will not affect the little water bags that we are?...or maybe you don't realize that the moon affect you, anyway, no one can say something sure with nature's stuff...

Well, I believe we see the tides in the oceans because that is one huge body of water. Now look at how the moon affects, say, your swimming pool. No visible effect. But the human body and the amount of water in it is too small and too far from the moon to be affected. Even if the moon will be 50.000 miles closer tomorrow. But of course that is what I think. I could be wrong and would be glad to change my mind if you could point me to something that backs your belief.

in local news an ¿astronomer? said that the moon approaching will not affect that much the tides or whatever...so maybe you're right and is good that nothing bad happened (y)
