@BladeRunner Thank you ...that explains everything....the horsebird that grows inside an egg and hatches from an egg....plus we've not had an #EggJam for a while....
Pegasus is kind of different...it's mythological....we're dealing with fact here @MadameZia
@Astromonkey@MadameZia@philipnareike this is getting more and more confusing for me, and now I'm starting to get an imagery of stuffed animals, as in taxidermy... this can't be good...
@philipnareike They are not platypuses (platypi is incorrect, just so you know) but some taxidermists monstrous creation - platypuses don't have horns or fluffy tails. They have used duck bills and feet and stuck them onto some sort of rodent to make them!
@Astromonkey@philipnareike OMG... ok, I've just realized, same as @jackietheripper (ripper?) has an issue with clowns I have with taxidermy... argh,,, if I have nightmares with this I'll blame you Phil...
@Astromonkey Maybe once they had horns and fluffy tails....evolution again....
@BladeRunner ...er...sorry...I'm sure you'll be okay....but SuperSquirrel was funny!
@philipnareike@Astromonkey@BladeRunner would it be so wrong to state that I've had all my beloved cats stuffed? By the way those pictures were fab even if they are the stuff of nightmares
@MadameZia I'm impressed! And admire you even more, Madame!!! though i gotta admit that I really think stuffed animals scare me a bit (birds specially). But it also reminded me how much I liked watching the crows in Luxembourg - live ones...

A flying horse can also be classed a bird....no?
MadameZia
@philipnareike absolutely not!
philipnareike
@MadameZia A horse with wings and feathers is surely a horsebird....no?
MadameZia
I think you'll find that what you are describing is commonly known as a 'Pegasus'
BladeRunner
(haven't even listened to the song, I'm laughing already just by reading this small part of the thread)
BladeRunner
Just adding to the confusion on the bird issue: Ovo means Egg in portuguese.

philipnareike
@Astromonkey @MadameZia @BladeRunner We are all born from the giant egg.....therefore we are ALL birds.....haven't you all heard of Egg/Ovo Theory?
BladeRunner

Was Paul Breitner in the band? He always struck me as a bass player... http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwxvz4ZuKf1r6mwuno1_1280.jpg
philipnareike

Wigging out to this one.

I'm struggling to see the yolk...
philipnareike
@decarter Eggsactly......I'm being serious here
MadameZia
@philipnareike @BladeRunner @Astromonkey let me remind you about Icarus and look what happened to him! He was certainly no bird...
philipnareike
@MadameZia Maybe you're right.......but lizards come from eggs as well.....surely not? ;)
Astromonkey
@philipnareike Playtpus lay eggs too but they are not birds.
philipnareike
@Astromonkey They are the only mammal to lay eggs. ....a unique creature... Evolution is amazing... http://youtu.be/OVneqhu9oZk
Astromonkey
@philipnareike Evolution? Heretic! Everyone knows the world was made by God in 7 days! The platypus was made from left over bits.

Astromonkey
@BladeRunner No, that's not good. But strange, because in the town where Philip grew up is a museum filled with stuffed animals!
philipnareike
@MadameZia @Astromonkey @BladeRunner Nothing to be scared of there ....... http://www.newageman.co.uk/articles/28-pictures-taxidermy-its-finest
philipnareike
But I have to say,the Museum in Tring has some of the finest examples of Victorian taxidermy in the world....
Astromonkey
@philipnareike Ha ha ha! Shocking! That polar bear!
philipnareike
@Astromonkey That's not 2 platypi mating? Is it!? Surely not!!
Astromonkey

philipnareike
@MadameZia Seriously?
MadameZia
@philipnareike absolutely!
philipnareike
@MadameZia May I ask how many have you had done? I hope you got a reputable taxidermist to do it
MadameZia
@philipnareike two - did them myself as I couldn't find one locally and they were beginning to smell
philipnareike
@MadameZia Must be quite a job....a real artform ....I love cats ...preferably living . .;)
MadameZia
@philipnareike I used the same technique as the one used in @ZenPyramid 's video ;)
philipnareike
@MadameZia Incredible. Very clever you are......Have you started on the cowboys yet?
Astromonkey
@MadameZia @philipnareike I stuffed all my ex-boyfriends.
