Menses is latin for month as mentioned in one of the other posts, so the 'menses' was used to describe a woman's monthly period. Therefore the lady who applied to Mensa probably forgot to enclose her cheque because of forgetfulness caused by 'the menses'.
Being serious now, is it named after someone called er. Mr. Mensa perhaps?
