The term "reasonable doubt" usually refers to finding someone innocent, not guilty. A jury in the American court system is cautioned by a judge to convict a person of a crime only if they are certain of his guilt and believe that they cannot, in good conscience, exonterate him. In the O.J. Simpson case, the jury said that they thought there might be a chance that the accused was framed for the murder of his wife and her friend; therefore, he was acquitted based on "reasonable doubt."

Do you seal?

This question can be answered in multiple ways. Someone who doesn't like seals might say "no". An Inuit might say "yes, but only grilled". Any reasonable person, however, would probably say something to the effect of "yes". I hate seals. Burn them all.

How do you get power with the full moon?

The full moon does not really provide sufficient light for power generation on any sort of reasonable scale. It might just barely suffice to run something like a solar calculator, but I sort of doubt it. If you mean "power" like werewolf or vampire powers or something, those are just folktales; they don't really exist.
