Did you know? People even buy and sell stocks with the moon phases. This info might come in handy some day.

Uhh, did you actually read the article you're pointing to? It, in fact, the article notes that the phase of the moon is NOT related to increased crime. I'll quote:
"Ivan Kelly, James Rotton and Roger Culver examined over 100 studies on lunar effects and concluded that the studies have FAILED to show a reliable and significant correlation (i.e., one not likely due to chance) between the full moon, or any other phase of the moon, and each of the following:" (my emphasis).
And in that list were various crime measures.
