Trivia: What celestial event is believed to make people go crazy?
Lunar eclipse
Shooting stars
Full moon
Solar flares
Correct Answer: Full moon
So why is this answer correct? : The words “lunatic” and “lunacy” come from the idea that the full moon, or “luna” in Latin, makes a person a little, well, loony. This idea is an old one — even Hippocrates, who is considered the father of medicine, affiliated strange behaviors with the moon goddess in the fifth century BCE. Although no longer a tenet of modern medicine, this moon-based superstition has survived in our language.
