Convergent evolution. Reptiles, mammals (including proto-hominids and today’s Bajau people) and birds have all had species return to the water and evolve similar traits. I remembered to carry the two.
As time marched on we have come to a point where we suspect that our assumptions of the universe are in error, e.g., the Hubble Constant which may not be… constant, that is.

I remember this. I think it was one of the first Bloom County strips I read.

To be fair a bird that swims, but can’t fly, is kind of dumb.
Like bees, don’t they know they can’t possibly fly? Idiots.
Platypussessses, what a joke. Obviously a glitch in the simulation. Or God had one too many that night, whatever.
To sum up: We understand everything, except what we don’t get. Apart from that, we’re pretty sme… sam… intelligent.

Flightless foul can be dangerous. Take cassowarys, for example.

Oliver! For shame! This is worse than Sheldon using units of square meters instead of square centimeters in his “Groundbreaking” Paper…

I like the desperate, last-second attempt to save the ice cream. Nice touch.

Schrodinger’s Equation explains flightless water fowl and a lot of other things, too.

Opus disappears in a puff of logic. Oliver goes on to prove black is white and gets run over at the zebra crossing.
