The Platypus is stranger than you think.

Platypuses have no nipples.  After the young hatch, the mother oozes milk from the pores all over her body.

The male platypus has a poison barb on the inside of its hind legs.  The purpose of this weapon is uncertain.

While often compared to the beaver, the platypus is only about 20 inches in length -- more comparable to the size of the muskrat.

The Platypus bill is actually just an elongated muzzle covered with much the same kind of tough skin found on a dog's nose.  This bill contains an electrically-sensitive organ that can detect the electrical signatures of the small aquatic animals it eats.

Model T - 100th Anniversary

Not quite sure if this is the right place, but this is from the (Oz) ABC Science Show, on Aug. 30th.  Hope it's of interest to any 'rev heads'  ::)

Robert Lacey describes the character of Henry Ford. Ford believed in reincarnation and says he learnt all his skills in a previous life. He came from a technologically minded family and had the knack of transforming technology. He had a vision of a vehicle for the multitudes. He didn't invent the motor car, but did develop new ways of manufacturing, including the assembly line.

  To listen go to:  http://www.abc.net.au/cgi-bin/common/player_launch.pl?s=rn/scienceshow&d=rn/scienceshow/audio&r=ssw_30082008_2856.ram&w=ssw_30082008_28M.asx&t=Saturday%2030%20August%202008&p=1
