The Platypus, Evolution and you!

submitted by Crosswords

1 decade 6 years 2 months 3 weeks ago

An interesting look at one of the more odd animals in the world. I thought the last bit was particularly interesting as I was not aware fossil platypus had been found nor of the oddity concerning their DNA and sex. Gratuitous use of a didgeridoo reminds us the platypus is indeed an Australian animal.

Gee, all that seems awful complicated. Can't we just say God did it?

Of course. Any reasonable person should know the platypus is just God's version of mystery stew. Just scrap all the unused and unwanted parts into a pot and eureka, an egg laying hairy animal with a duck's bill, squat body, beaver tail and a mess of x's, and y's for sex chromosomes.

Who did a bit about god being drunk that day. It was either Bill Cosby or Robin Williams?

I think it was Robin Williams
