Full moon question for the folklorists

Just for astronomical reference - a full moon is pretty much never 
up during the day. A full moon will rise at sunset and set at 
sunrise (or at least very close to those times - off the equator, 
there is a little bit of leeway to work with, but not much).

So the question doesn't arise in folklore - because it doesn't 
happen.

Bookworm:
According to the Farmer's Almanac, there are at least 7 daytime full 
moons on 2003 and 2004. By my figuring, about 30% of the time the 
moon is full during the daytime. And from my observations, the full 
moon rises during the late morning and sets a little after midnight. 
(Just my observations, and I'm late for work, so I can't check it 
now.)
