If you don’t read it now, a European woman will read it first.

“One of the reasons some work was done on the skull was because it had a number of puncture wounds,”

Restless natives.

Supposed to poke holes in the dinner before it’s microwaved?

Finally, Ladies, we can tell them the truth. We've been everywhere before you guys. We discovered it all. New Zealand, North America, Mars, all of it. Been there, done that. But, you know, male ego and all. Had to keep it hush hush

sigh....

But the search for the perfect handbag goes on.

To Ursa Major and don't spare the horses, Ladies!

Then again, maybe exponential functions used in carbon dating are as deceiving as positing such ancient histories to correspond with our perception of time.

Yep, I'm sure you're right! Men carry women's skulls around all the time. Like key chains.

Male ego. Just can't accept scientific proof.........that Coach is out there. And we're gonna find it.

We don't allow men on our handbag missions. They just don't understand the shoe/handbag problem.

Or why we're mad at them at any given time.

For a European woman to be found alone on a remote island like New Zealand, she would have had to be transported there on a European ship by authorization of the Captain or be a stowaway.

In either case, no doubt she would have been a comfort to the Captain or the crew. So why was she left there at the mercy of the aboriginals?

I believe we have discovered the first recorded case of a woman being MAROONED because of PMS.

Thanks nickcarraway.

The RC date wouldn't be when she died, but perhaps there's more to the data than the writer knew.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Darks had the perfect quip for a handbag: She had the face of a trucker. She made it into a purse.

(That’ll probably be banned in Boston...)
