The Platypus and Echidna have a special place in the animal kingdom due to their reptilian features and are the only animals classified as monotremes - mammals that lay eggs.

Echidnas spines are made of a type of hair that can be moved by the animal individually.

Male Platypus have venomous barbs behind their back feet that while not fatal to humans, can incapacitate its victim for months with severe pain.

People who laugh a lot are much healthier than those who don't. Dr. Lee Berk at the Loma Linda School of Public Health in California found that laughing lowers levels of stress hormones, and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds have it best - they laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.

I like this one, Del. One of my last New Year resolutions was to laugh as often as possible, and I think I have succeeded to a great extent. Your posts often make me laugh, so keep up the good work

You can't plough a cotton field with an elephant in North Carolina.

OK, I wasn't planning to try just at the moment, but would a camel do instead :?:

Statues of people on horseback denote how they died, if the horse has both front legs in the air then the person died in battle, if only one leg, they died from injuries sustained in battle, all four legs down means they died of natural causes..
