So, where does the platypus’ food go to be digested? As for Abe and Thomas, Lincoln’s mother Nancy’s maiden name is Hanks; they’re also related to George Clooney through Nancy’s half-sister Mary Ann Sparrow.

Troy Aikman is my second cousin once removed.

@templo That’s right, we even had a train that ran from Savannah to Atlanta named for her.Our family is kin to George Clooney too, although the family name most recently was Cooney.

will all you fools stop calling them “Platypus”? that’s a type of beetle.

This creature is an Ornithorhynchus.

;P David Attenborough reiterates this to me every night in my sleep.

What a very antisocial comment. I wonder if your country men know that you have appointed your as spokesperson for the entire country?

When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me that dragonflies will sew up the lips of liars, but now I know that’s all a…mmmmph, mmmph, mmmph!

I am not related to anyone.

I’m related to the late Foster Brooks, and other answers to questions:http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2013/12/03/how-the-platypus-and-a-quarter-of-fishes-lost-their-stomachs/

So, the platypus excretes right after eating?I wonder if anyone approached Tom Hanks before Daniel Day-Lewis for “Lincoln.”

I’m sure a lot of us are related to a president or 2. I’m related to Presidents John & John Q. Adams

Brad Pitt is my nephew’s wife’s step-cousin.

I didn’t know that about dragonflies. I’ve never seen one stand still long enough to notice if it could walk!

That’s why they’re often referred to as duck billed quislings

I am neither a Bigot or hateful. I am an Aussie that hates ignorant people of all nations.Flagged for truth.

On the site A Walking Dragonfly, "I once read from somewhere that dragonflies cannot walk. This has bothered me for quite a while. So I’ve tried to observe dragonflies every time I can. Dragonflies usually don’t walk, it seems. They land right on the correct place so that they don’t need to.

But they can walk. At least this individual. Backwards. Slowly. But that’s still walking, I think."
