Let’s Face It, They’re Weird

Platypuses. Platypii?

They’re just strange creatures.

First, they have cloacas (only one opening for eggs, urine and feces to pass).

Second, males have venomous spurs.

Third, they lay eggs.

Fourth, they have some freaky genes going on. Nature reported that “a platypus has five chromosones determining sex, not one - like the rest of the species in the world.” That’s like some alien stuff going on. It’s not like it’s a non-mammalian thing to do, it’s like it’s a non-earth thing to do.

Of course Nature also reported that hobbits used to live in Indonesia.

During November it's all about me writing a novel. Sometimes it's about whalewatching. You know, and then there's other stuff.
