Going to be an ultra-short OP here.
I’ve heard women referring to their menstrual phase as shark week. Why?
WAG: Sharks are attracted by blood in the water, and women bleed during menstruation, so – blood connection with the shark.
There’s an approval process of sorts. I know this because I read an article mentioned Rodney Dangerfield’s inability to vote. Even though he was a member of the SAG, and even though he had turned in a respectable dramatic performance in Natural Born Killers, he was still viewed as a stand-up comic who appeared in a couple of B-movies.
Apparently he brought his lack of membership in the Academy to the attention of (his union steward, the president of the Academy, someone), who also viewed him as a B-movie stand-up comic, who told him to “work on [his] craft” and come back next year.
Sorry, no cite. This is all from hazy memory.

Mods, please close this thread. Oh wait…
Whoa there! Wrong thread!
:eek:
Also, The Discovery Channel occasionally has what they call “SHARK WEEK!!” which features…shows about sharks. So…sharks - blood - “shark week” on Discovery - approximately a week of bleeding during a woman’s period - SHARK WEEK.
Acres better than “a visit from Aunt Flo” or “A visit from the Cardinal” or “THE CURSE,” is you ask me.
So should menstruating women & girls avoid surfing?
(Hmmm, I wonder if this at least partially led to the attack on that Hawaiin girl who got her arm bitten off…)
Well that cleared it up.
Thanks, all.
