Random thought for the day

Since platypus can lay eggs and produce breast milk, wouldn't that make them the only mammals who can make their own custard?

I'll defer to resident expert - @RexAshton.

But, the question would remain: if a platypus can make it's own custard, would you eat it?

I'm actually not the resident expert on this one, since I don't eat custard.

However, I'm sure I'll have plenty of random thoughts to share in the future.

That said, my google-fu is strong today.

Regarding the plural for platypus....Scientists generally use "platypuses" or simply "platypus". Colloquially, the term "platypi" is also used for the plural, although this is technically incorrect and a form of pseudo-Latin; the correct Greek plural would be "platypodes".

Also, has everyone here tried Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites? They freakin' rock.

Those make people with peanut allergies die. You just as well substitute blue cheese as peanutbutter.

But that would be gross... Please do not hijack this thread with pushing your own agenda and only provide daily random thoughts.... At least I shared the platypodes thing.

Found out there are at least two other possible custard makers in existence. And of course they are from Australia.

If you bred a seagull with an eagle, would the result be a seagle or an eagull?

Technically, since Earth is the third closest planet to the sun, every problem is a third world problem.

Where would one find a hamster out in the wild?

There are 26 species of wild hamster that run free in parts of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

How do they know the hamsters are wild? Frequent orgies? Drug use?

Although platypuses are born out of leathery eggs, the babies nurse like mammals from their mother. Female platypuses, however, don’t have nipples. Instead, the milk oozes out of mammary gland ducts on their abdomen and babies drink up by sucking it out of their mother’s fur.
