This is a question Controversial Beliefs

Some mugs still think the MMR injection gives children autism (it doesn't), while others are of the belief that we're ruled by billionaire lizard people. Tell us about views outside the mainstream which people go glassy eyed if you bang on about them (Your grandad's a racist - no need to tell us, thanks)

The phase of the moon doesn't affect it's gravitational pull...
...it's distance does. Which is independent of the phase.

Also the gravitational pull of the moon on a single hair is of the order of 2e-11 N. That's 1/300,000 of the force from Earth pulling it back down.

So amazingly, it's bollocks.
