Boracay - synch
There’s plenty of scientific evidence that women synch up when living in the same enclosed vicinity. It’s the pheromones or something.
What’s not evident is that the synching can last for years after the women all go their separate ways, frustrating boyfriends all at the same time.

is that . . . magellan?

err.. I don’t get the second panel too. maybe it’s the circumnavigate part, but still a blank. maybe I’m having a Jimmy moment.
could someone enlighten us?

On the 2nd panel the part I don’t get is where the girl says: “My mother was right!…..”

“Magellan” doesn’t know what day it is. His “wife” has PMS (ergo the ranting/bitchen) it’s the 28th because of the 28 day menstrual cycle.

The woman in the next panel has a menstrual cycle so that is why she has a hot temper.
The so called “Magellan” on the other side, knew its the 28th so he knew her wife will be this angry.
Anyways, can’t wait for another CMStrip (Comic Strip) about Dana’s story.

–unless she have a friend on the island?
–help.

teka.. magellan discovered the Philippines on March 15..
sorry, I still don’t get it

i could now relate that “magellan” fellow here is aware that it’s the 28th day of march due to his wife nagging, etc.
–but how’s it related to them finding land.
–it’s jimmy day. heh.

IRL, seafarers during the days of Magellan were discouraged from bringing women aboard as they were seen to be bringers of bad luck.
The woman’s menstrual cycle is not an exact science and may vary with every person. Being cooped up in a wooden vessel without decent food, water and toilets can accelerate the cycle and make PMS worse

my guess is that seafarers can measure the speed of their journey by days. So for example if it takes 28 days to go from one place to another on ordinary weather, the menstrual cycle can be an indicator
odd.

The big problem for seafarers centuries ago is an accurate timepiece. You can measure your position on the globe given your initial point, your direction, your speed, and the time. However, local time keeps changing when you move across longitudes. Navigators needed a way to know the time and date from their point of origin as they move along.
The strip here says that menstrual synching is a good way to do just that,
