1and1, my website host, seems to be blocking Project Wonderful for some reason. This started early Friday morning and is still going. PW said they are working to resolve the issue, but I’ve no idea why 1and1 hasn’t stopped blocking yet.

Platypuses!

While researching Australia for the upcoming comics, I ran across some interesting facts about platypuses:

  • Platypuses are found only in eastern Australia.
  • Platypuses hunt underwater by detecting electric impulses in their prey.
  • Male platypuses are venomous.
  • No platypuses are poisonous; in fact, they are delicious.
  • The platypus is the national animal of Australia.
  • It is also the national animal of France, but only because one starred opposite Jerry Lewis in Le Travailleur Farfelu de l’Usine des Berets (The Crazy Beret Factory Worker) in 1962.
  • Despite being mammals, platypuses lay eggs. The only other mammals to do so are dolphins and birds.
  • Wilford Brimley is not a talking platypus. He is a talking walrus.
  • President Grover Cleveland was rumored to be a platypus in a very elaborate disguise, but this is false. To date, no platypus has ever reached an office higher than cabinet-level secretary.
  • It’s well known that communists are scared of platypuses, but the reverse is true as well. Ronald Reagan famously won the Cold War by airlifting platypuses to Soviet-occupied Berlin, an operation known as “The Peloponnesian War.”
