...researchers have now discovered that the platypus boasts not two sex chromosomes like most animals, but ten...

At last, Laz's missing link.

I got it! Platypi are descended from a pair of alien pets who wandered away from their owners' UFO, like the alien child did in Chicken Little. Right? Hey goofy-haired history Channel alien guy, whaddaya think?

Thankfully Fred Rogers is in heaven (cause I hate to think what PBS would do with the platypus on his show given THIS little tidbit of information)

Now he’s got me wondering whether God created the duck billed platypus on the fifth day, with the birds and the fishes, or on the sixth day, with the beasts of the field.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is 5 platipussies.

Interestingly, Darwinians place mammals on the planet 100 million years before birds.

That is dishonest.

Birds are modified dinosaurs, according to the latest understanding.

“Now he’s got me wondering whether God created the duck billed platypus on the fifth day, with the birds and the fishes, or on the sixth day, with the beasts of the field.”

Must have been at midnight between the 5th and 6th day.

I’m sure HE will explain it all to us, should our curiosity remain with us in the Afterlife.

The article repeats "duck-billed Platypus."

Are there any Platypusses with other kinds of bills?

Or maybe with no bills at all?

Just askin'
