🩸 Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining, or the endometrium. It is the most visible phase of the menstrual cycle.

🩸The term “period” in reference to menstruation dates from 1822 and means an “interval of time” or a “repeated cycle of events.”

🩸 A woman will spend approximately 3,500 days menstruating.

🩸 Menstruation may have led to humanity’s sense of time as most early lunar calendars were based on the length of a women’s menstrual cycle.

🩸 Scholars suggest that pre-modern men and women learned to think numerically by recognizing relationships between groups of numbers that were also units of time measured through menstrual rites.

🩸 The only mammals to undergo menopause are elephants, humpback whales, and human females.

🩸 The term “ritual” is derived from the Sanskrit word R’tu, which means “menstrual.” This etymology suggests that ritual in a general sense and menstrual acts have a common origin.

🩸 The human female's egg is the largest cell in the human body. It is the only human cell that can be seen with the naked eye.

🩸 To treat extremely heavy periods, some women turn to uterine ablation. During a uterine ablation, a physician can use several types of methods—such as a laser, a balloon filled with a heated saline solution, electricity, freezing, or microwave—to permanently destroy the endometrium.

🩸 At one point in history, women who complained of menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) were sent to psychiatrists because menstrual cramps were seen as a rejection of one’s femininity

🩸 Periods tend to be heavier, more painful, and longer in the colder months.

🩸 Nicknames for a menstrual period include Aunt Flow, On the Rag, I’m at a Red Light, Surfing the Crimson Tide, Checked into Red Roof Inn, Curse of Dracula, Leak Week, My Dot, and Monthly Oil Change.

🩸 Eighty-one percent of women say they’ve experienced dysmenorrhea (painful cramps). This occurs because the prostaglandin hormone causes the uterus to cramp, causing the abdomen to spasm.

🩸 The average age a woman stops her period is 51, though symptoms of menopause (perimenopause) can start as early as 32.

🩸 The term “ovary” is from the Latin ovum or “egg.” In classical Latin, ovaries meant “egg keeper.

🩸 Because women weigh more than they did in the past, women tend to start their periods at younger ages and stop them at older ages (fat cells produce more estrogen). Scholars also suggest that hormones in modern food have led to earlier menstruation.

🩸 Studies suggest that city lights or artificial lights influence the menstrual cycle.

🩸 Some women are heavy clotters and pass chunks of coagulated blood during their periods. The clots come from uterine contractions and cramping so frequent that the blood doesn’t have time to thin out before passing. A few dime size or smaller clots a day during a period is normal.

🩸 Scholars debate the existence of menstrual synchrony (a.k.a. the McClintock effect or dormitory effect), a theory that suggests that women who live in close proximity to each other develop synchronized periods.

🩸 Oligomenorrhea is when a woman has her periods less frequently than normal. Amenorrhea is when she doesn’t get her period at all.

About Cranmon Eggs

The Cranmon is your Thanksgiving dinner gone awry. Somewhere along the way, your ingredients must've gotten mixed up. When that happens, a Cranmon egg forms. Once it forms, there's no stopping it... it'll hatch rapidly.

About the Cranmon Creature

For Thanksgiving, always pay attention to your recipe and follow it to the letter! Otherwise, you could spawn a Cranmon while cooking. This gigantic monster can grow rapidly and be fully formed by the end of your Thanksgiving weekend. When you notice you've created a Cranmon, it's best to place it outside and let it roam free before it can destroy anything near you—never identify yourself to a Cranmon. Stay far away!

The Cranmon leaves a foul, rotting cranberry trail in its wake. Even touching it can cause someone to become very ill.

The Town Hall in Ark City typically has to dispatch at least a few "Cranmon Cleanup Teams" shortly after Thanksgiving to manage the mayhem and bio-hazards...
