As a platypus lays eggs and produces milk, it’s the only animal that can make its own custard.
And echidnas.
I'm not sure if I'm and echidna custard or platypus custard kind of person.
the new coke v pepsi
Echidnas have a four-headed penis. You're welcome.
Just like normal humans, then?
Just be sure you don't mention echidna custard in front of Ken Penders.
Dark.
Also. Where can I try some?
DM me your card details and I’ll send you a couple of pints from my platypus farm.
Wait…. People farm the weirdos?
It’s heavily regulated now as someone sold one of the male drumsticks that still had the venomous spur attached at a Saturday farmers market.
Fortunately most of the venom was deactivated by frying it but they still had to be hospitalised for a week.
I wonder how they'd be for pets.
I realize I shouldn't.
but. I kinda want one. They're cute.
(again, I realize I shouldn't!)
The human urge to domesticate anything that is slightly cute
Hell, we'll even try to domesticate things that are anything but cute, like crocodiles, fish and spiders
They're all cute to someone.
(Not me, I have crippling arachnophobia)
Er…no… Not me…
It can make it's own breakfast
yes but what about second breakfast
A full English breakfast ain’t shit once you’ve had the full platypus breakfast!
