“Everyone knows the full Moon turns some of us into werewolves, but how come it doesn’t happen when you’re in the basement, or if there’s complete overcast? Just because you can’t see the full Moon through the clouds doesn’t mean the Moon isn’t there. So it must be the light that temporarily converts your genetic profile to that of a wild canine. Holding aside the biological and physiological implausibility of this claim, did you know that moonlight is just reflected sunlight? Obtain a spectrum of the Moon’s light and it’s identical to that of the Sun. (A fact I demonstrated for my eighth-grade science fair project using a spectroscope I had built from scratch. Came in second place.) If the Moon turns you into a werewolf at night, then so should the Sun in the daytime.”
