Any overweight platypus can forget about lap band surgery.

So where does a platypus store its food to be digested? Congrats for the thirteenth time, Mr. and Mrs. Schwandt.

About 1/4 of fish don’t have stomachs. Adult platypuses, platypi or platypodes (take your pick) don’t have teeth, baby ones do.Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Shwandt for contributing more than your share to over population of the planet.

When I read about the Schwandts on MLive.com both before and after the birth, I never expected them to appear in Ripley’s Believe it or Not. They had liked the idea of having a baby girl. Sometime after the birth of their thirteenth son, it was reported that it was “medically impossible” for them to have a girl. For each pregnancy, they chose to be surprised by the baby; no seeking to find out before his birth whether Kateri was carrying a girl or a boy.

It’s always nice to see the vitriol flow.Myself, I looked up the Salary range for his Profession.$30,391 – $83,438.If he’s anywhere from the Middle to the Top of that range he can afford the kids with careful Budgeting..(He Does Commercial Properties, so he’s unlikely to be in the bottom of the range).AW, Darn. He might actually NOT be such a Burden..
