S/He's been on the drugs for a while, apparently.  "The moon makes water"
has to be one of the k00kiest ideas on Usenet I've heard, and that's
saying something.

Of course, without a moon, the earth would still have tides, from the sun.
The difference would be the tides would be smaller, and would take place
about the same time every day (nearish noon and midnight).
