The article implies that she was not alone. The locals ate the survivors. Unless the ship was crewed solely by women there were probably men among those survivors.

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

For which some of us are deeply grateful. ;)

“Or why we’re mad at them at any given time.”

Sir Edmund Hilary paraphrased what he learned from his mother; it should have been “Because we can.”

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

Keep posting stuff like that, and I won’t have to worry at all! ;)

You mean that after the locals ate the males, this young woman was faced with a fate worse than death among the Maori savages? EWWWWWW!

Okay, I’ll accept that although there doesn’t seem to be any physical evidence of male survivors.

But then you have to ask yourself. Why did they knock holes in her head? Probably to let the bad humors out when she started bitchin’ :-)

Example: “Does this grass skirt make me look fat?”

I’m sure it was the man’s fault. Probably made her go out for beer and chips.

I can’t believe there were other women there before Captain Cook. She was a great explorer.

Ah yes, the infamous tagline.
“She had the face of a trucker. She used it as a purse.”
Quite painful that, and a stoning offense in Boston.
