Line 153:
* Averted for anyone who's been the victim of platypi venom, one of the most potent venom on Earth. While it won't generally kill you, it will make you wish it had as the venom goes to your pain receptors and cranks [[Up to Eleven]]. One victim of the venom had been shot in [[World War II]] and said without any hesitation that the platypus sting was far more painful.
* An interesting fact: During [[World War II]], [[Winston Churchill]] decided he'd like some brought to the United Kingdom. this required special facilities being fitted out on a ship, and navigation halfway round the world in a war. nevertheless, this was attempted, and the ship made it all the way to the mid Atlantic, when it was discovered that the measures taken to protect the animals didn't completely mitigate the effect of anti-submarine depth charges, and they died a few days before arriving.

* Sanrio has tried at least three times to launch a platypus character for the [[Hello Kitty]] universe, but it's never taken off.
