I just got this in my email from APMEX and circled the part that really made me laugh. Thought some of you might enjoy this. Mike  |

Because APMEX really doesn't have a sense of humor.  |

You had an acronym in the file name that the forum software rejects automagically. I fixed the file name on the server and your post.  |

Now, what is a group of platypii called?
And don't say: 'A group of platypii!"

The 10th one is thinking ... "Why the heck did they put a platypus on a platinum coin!?"

A group of platypus is a platyplot.
And the tenth one was busy stinging someone. They're poisonous, you know - in Australia, animals either eat your crops or poison you. Natural selection in action. Aussies are hardcore people, and they've already eradicated all the boring animals.

bobbi- platypuses or platypi are both correct. onejinx- is also correct, there is no collective word Quote:
A group of platypus is a platyplot. Nice try, guy. Even gewgil doesn't recognize that word. A baby platypus is a puggle. There is no gender name distinction. |

the #2 fun fact: I can see why they thought it was a hoax when they were found because it looks like they had extra parts left over and instead of throwing them away they made the platypus

Very strange, the whole egg-laying-mammal thing. If I could lay an egg I bet someone would put me on a platinum coin.
