[QUOTE=Revtim] Also, as is well known, a woman’s cycle is triggered by the phases of the moon. [/QUOTE] When I was a teen, I didn’t believe THAT but I did believe that women’s cycles were synched to the lunar cycle, just that different women would be at different places in their cycles. ---

There hasn’t been a man on the moon in 35 years, so “About time” applies to everyone. It’s not like there’s been this steady flow of guys going up while excluding women, for crying out loud. 12 guys over a 3 year span back when men wore ties to mow the lawn. American woman first word - “Houston” ---
