Re: Evolution?

*sigh*

You are thinking like a 220-yr-old Colonial; a platypus is NOT a 'primitive' animal.

Just because it looks like a duck bill is simply evidence of co-vergent evolution, although I have yet to meet a duck with an electromagnetic-field-detecting bill (Platypuses can sense *really* small EM fields with their bill).

Also, no ducks I know of have venomous claws; platypuses do. (Male ones, at least)

Also, platypuses are quite successful creatures - visible in the wild, even within Sydney if you know where and when to look.

Also, Vista actually worked pretty well.

So; your point, sir?
