Is the gravitational pull on the earth the same all over the earth? Does it 
vary year to year?  Does it have an effect on people on earth?

Hypothetically, if the gravitational pull caused people to act differently from 
month to month or year to year, could the moon be the cause of a Whattaburger 
employee goofing up my order (forgetting my onion rings)?  If it has some 
effect, is it enough that I should bypass Whattaburger and drive north to eat 
at my wife's cousin's house instead?
