Thanks! This reminds me I really need to finish the pics. Maybe next week.
But it still needs a name...

Hmm, whats the scientific name for a platapus?

Uh, thats plat-y-pus, and it's scientific name is Ornithorhynchus anatinus.
Dunno if you can get a neat name outta that!!

   Literally, it's "bird-nose of duck quality".  Rather descriptive.
   But not exactly awe-inspring for a deadly piece of military hardware.
   Unless, of course, it's got a poisoned spur on its hind feet...;)

(...) Personally I'd go for the spaceship _Monotreme_ (which lends itself to a nice etymological nickname too). --DaveL (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)
