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

The fossil record indicates that the platypus appeared fully formed, with all of its “adaptations” perfectly balanced. Fossils dated to millions of years ago look almost identical to the modern animal.

You've obviously never met my wife.

Ba-dum, dum.

That was too easy, but when you're dished up an easy pitch, you just gotta take a swing at it.
