Reason for post deletion: discovery of deposit of a large quantity of stoned gibbering. I apologise.

Isn't it amazing that women who live together have menstrual cycles that synchronise? Why the hell does that happen???

Why the hell does that happen???
Nobody knows for sure, but it probably has something to do with hormones and a vestigial chemical synchronization mechanism left over from when humans were routinely eaten by predators.
Menstruating women probably smelled differently and attracted predation. By syncing up the whole clan, they found safety in numbers. Any woman that didn't sync stood a greater chance of being eaten and therefore not reproducing. Those that did sync, lived long enough to have kids and pass the sync-gene on to their offspring, reinforcing the tendency of the species as a whole to sync periods.
I remember reading of an experiment where a group of women who did not live together were studied. One was asked to place cotton balls in her armpits all day, then at the end of the day, the cotton balls were wiped on the upper lip of the rest of the women. After several months, they all synced up their menstrual cycle even though they'd never met in person.
Interesting, eh?
BTW, I like your stoned gibbering.
