As a platypus lays eggs and produces milk, it’s the only animal that can make its own custard.

I'm not sure if I'm and echidna custard or platypus custard kind of person.

Just be sure you don't mention echidna custard in front of Ken Penders.

Echidnas have a four-headed penis. You're welcome.

Just like normal humans, then?

Dark.

Also. Where can I try some?

[-] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Hell, we'll even try to domesticate things that are anything but cute, like crocodiles, fish and spiders

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

They're all cute to someone.

(Not me, I have crippling arachnophobia)

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Er…no… Not me…
