Our eggs would have to be much bigger and I would hate to pass an egg big enough to contain a human fetus every month. Ouch!

No kidding. Can you imagine protecting that egg for 9 months. Im sure there would be lots of "miscarriages".

Well, this thread got silly when people started to talk about marsupials. Let us face facts: kangeroos and the other marsupials do not lay eggs. Even if they did, I doubt they would be tasty.

Now, the platypus does lay eggs: two to four at a time. The following chart will tell you everything you need to know about the playful platypus:



Notice that the platypus is surprisingly large: much larger than the gorilla. I was surprised at that. I was not surprised to see that the chicken is smaller, or the snake, although I have seen some very, very big snakes.

Anyway, the real point of this thread should be: anytime you have a creature, like a platypus, that is larger than a gorilla, yet also has a poisonous spur (which the gorilla lacks), then one should be concerned.

It is said that the platypus can eat its own weight every day, which, from the picture, equates to two gorillas per day. Where the platypus has access to that many gorillas, especially in Australia, I do not confess to know.

It is like Groucho Marx once said: This morning I shot a platypus in my pajamas. What the platypus was doing in my pajamas, I don't know.

I hear that. The teeny little pinhead-sized one we do produce causes enough problems sometimes!

Good Lord. I get slapped around by a mod for starting a thread saying Capital One commercials discriminate against my Norwegian heritage and then by PM get called a troll, but somehow this intellectual oatmeal is OK? There ain't no justice I tell ya.

Not if it was mama kangaroo's choice.

That just means that each female has one egg for me to steal every month. The girl's dorm has at least 500 rooms so I'll be set!

Under the TMI banner....I have not eaten eggs since I was about 4 years old and learned that
"angel food" ( scrambled eggs) was an unborn chicken. That most other people eat and enjoy eggs does not bother me. Guess I was pro-choice from the start.

You may want to limit the question to RWNJs... they seem to be very familiar with "laying eggs".
