Since my main topic yesterday was the ever boring struggle to be original, i had to post this...Darwin would be chuckling at this one. Scientists have finally deciphered the genetic blueprint of one the weirdest (some might say cutest?) looking creatures on earth. No not Marty Feldman or Dennis Rodman, the duck billed platypus. . According to these crazy scientist dudes at University of Oxford UK, is a mammal covered with fur that produces milk, but it also lays eggs (film at 11). I kind of resemble my mom, but have some of my dad's features.
This little bugger has the tail of beaver, bill of a duck and eyes like a mole, according to the British DNA nerd quoted in this article. So I guess ducks and beavers at some point......well you know.
Anyway, I'm sure she'll have a blog at some point too..
