I'm still wondering what sort of changes / decisions / etc. you'll make with this knowledge?

Is there any consistent agreement across cultures / societies regarding what should and shouldn't be done based on lunar phase? I've read some pretty funny comparisons of "common sense" in other fields. Should you stretch before, during, or after exercise? It is common knowledge in different countries that each of those choices is the correct one and the other choices are potentially harmful.

I haven't been able to find any research showing a relationship between planting crops and lunar phase. The supposed relationship between psych admissions and the full moon doesn't hold up when you actually look at the records:
