Hi @bashadow... Thanks for stopping by...

I think I understand the 7 day thing now, and why people have to wait 7 days for payout, Ned, three letters same number of letters as God, Dan, three letters, same number as God.

That's quite an astute observation, my friend. Seems you've uncovered and devulged a hidden aspect of Hive's creation; modeled - in part - utilizing biblical referances...!?!?!?!?

'Platypus' long, flat snouts are there for a variety of reasons. One is for when foraging for food along the bottom of waterways; it is useful to dig out small prey hiding under the setiment...(like a shovel)

There also are electrosensors under the skin of their bills of which they can detect prey at a distance, by way of electrolocation, because they close their eyes, nose and ears when swimming - like my aunt Matilda used to do when she dived into a vat of fermenting beer, at uncle Harry's furniture store...

A platypus also has few teeth, so the long, wide mouth helps the poor animal to trap and hold helpless little creatures prior to devouring. It's also handy for latching onto your leg and stinging you with the burrs on their ankles. The males can secrete a venom, known to be very painful to whimpy homosapiens who may be attempting to capture the animal.

I hope this info helps; it's all I can remember at the moment about platypus duck-like bills... Send 350 HBD to my wallet if you need more information, to help with food expenses for the homeless cats that expect a handout from me...

Keep warm and well up there in the far northland, buddy...
