It’s About Time - Scientists Map The Genetic Makeup Of The Platypus

Whew! I thought they’d never get around to this. I was worried:

SYDNEY, Australia - Scientists said they have mapped the genetic makeup of the platypus — one of nature’s strangest animals with a bill like a duck’s, a mammal’s fur and snake-like venom.

Read the whole article. It’s kind of interesting, actually. An odd creature, really. And you thought they’d never get around to it either, didn’t you?

Now, (speaking of odd creatures) if they could just figure out what makes a far left liberal tick.......

Phewww!!!!!! I was wandering if they would get around it in my lifetime. Now I can go to my grave in peace knowing the truth.

The Platypus: Proof that God has a sense of humor.

Electnixon,

Were they not so pestiferous, and expensive, to the rest of us, you could make the same observation about Democrats!

I will definitely sleep better at night now knowing that the platypus is better understood.



A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
