There was a platypus who wanted to ride a bicycle on a tightrope over the Niagara Falls
But there are 7 problems with believing this story:
1. A platypus cannot ride a bike. The never know how to shift properly.
2. A platypus has no money to buy or rent a bike and their line of credit is generally terrible
3. Platypuses have a very bad sense of balance and would never make it over such a long line of wire.
4. A platypus has no way to plan for a trip from Australia to Canada as there are no more travel agents where they live and they do not have reliable internet connections
5. Platypus are known for having no sense of geography - they do not even know they are in Australia and not in Canada (or upstate New York.)
6. Platypus have no real desire. They are happy with life as it is. No questions asked. They just stay where they are.
7. A Platypus cannot speak and humans cannot read the mind of a platypus. We know therefore very little about them - other than they love Kim Kardashian and Justin Beeber. That is how we know they are evil to the core.
