The effects of tidal forces aren't limited to water. Being made of 85% water has nothing to do with it.
I'm interested though - do these things also happen on full moons when the sky is cloudy and you can't see it?

Whaaaaaaaat
The full moon probably affects people, and little environmental changes can probably result in somewhat larger mood changes, but moon does not have sekrit brainwaves that alter your mood
Given that nobody even hinted a the possibility of "sekrit brainwaves", I think you might want to edit. Wouldn't want to lose face now, would we?

Sorry guys, but this is complete bullshit. The moon is directly overhead EVERY DAY! When it's half moon, the moon is directly overhead at 6AM or 6PM. When it's full moon, it's overhead at midnight. There's no way that the moon being overhead at a particular time of day causes physiological effects due to gravity.

Our bodies are what... like 85% water? A full moon does indeed effect us.
Even though our mass is tiny and gravitational force is an inverse square law?
Probably the big glowing ball in the night sky more than anything else. Although I'm sure there's bound to be some subtle effects.
Actually, what Cmdr Sy stated was wrong. Gravitational force is an inverse square of distance. It's actually linear with mass. Force = G*M*m/r^2.
And as I pointed out before, there's no way the gravitation of the moon causes behavioural changes at the full moon because the moon is directly overhead every day and doesn't change mass. Unless someone can poke a hole in my logic, any further posts about the moon's gravity changing people's behaviour is redundant.
