You are so right - the less than 1%ers are always trying to vote to "teach a lesson" rather than to win. They end up doing neither, and are therefore irrelevant.

True.

Hey guys. I found this important information and decided to post it ASAP. After all we have an election coming up.

Platypus Breeding Cycle

June
  • The size of the testes and sperm production in males captured between July and the end of October,  indicate that this is the main breeding period. 
  • There may be some overlap between the mating and lactation season however,  as females have been caught that were producing milk in late September.
  • It is assumed that gestation lasts about a month and incubation roughly ten days.
  • Lactation is known to take 3 1/2 months, this means  young that emerge  from the burrow in  February would have resulted from a mating that occurred in September.
