The near ox-sized putrid mass of pulpy tissue had randomly placed gibbering toothy vomiting maws and short fat dripping tentacles tipped with bloodshot eyeballs. It continuously changed shape in a horrible oozing fashion and suffered monstrous eruptions from its angry proud flesh. I cried out, “hey kid, don’t put your lips on that thing!” but it was too late.

Hail Platypus,
I recently learned that the male platypus is venomous. As if they were not weird enough as it is, they have poisonous spurs on their back legs. Can you confirm this and if I am not getting too personal, what do you use them for? -GH |

'Tis true. I use them mostly for digging into the mattress. Gives me extra leverage when puttin' the stones to Mrs. Platypus.

Thank you.
She is a very lucky mammal. Does the venom paralyze her, arouse her or make her forget? Perhaps all three. I have also heard that loud noises can kill a platypus instantly. Sadly, Hamburgers do not have poisonous spurs. -GH |

Yes, Hamburger, she is a lucky ma... well, monotreme actually. Sadly, Mrs. Platypus is not aroused by my venom. I extol the curative virtues of its high protein makeup - good for the complexion, fur, etc. But she claims that NO female platypi (platypussies?) really like venom. I, however, recall that in my younger single years, all my platybonks rather enjoyed partaking of my copious venom.
As to how to cook me, I prefer to be braised in a light wine sauce with shallots and mushrooms. Served over a bed of homemade fettucini, with garlic bread, and a bottle of Shyraz (d'Arenberg Dead Arm would be nice, thank you).

Understood my highly specialized friend.
Just tell the old lady if she can't give you what you want that you are going to go down the street and see that sexy little echidna that just moved in to the neighborhood. ![]() I've heard she's an anteater. -GH |

Shhhh! That's a prickly situation. Don't want the wife to find out.
As you could surmise, echidna bonking must be undertaken with the utmost care. The good news, however, is that they have no teeth and sport a 6.5 inch tongue.
