Echidna

[Viker]

Has anyone seen a skewer evolve into a kebab?

Anything is possible, especially in the 21st century. It's just probability is tougher guy.

Cutie pie!

They're so funny to watch walk and wander.

For those asking, they're completely inoffensive. Both my old unit and my current house have had them come right up to our door, munching away on ants, and pretty oblivious to the world (I live in the burbs...green and leafy, but still...)
My kids got to pet and feed them at Healesville Sanctuary with some Swedish friends of ours, which was cool.

(petting them is okay, as long as you brush the right way, and they're not feeling threatened. Their spines are basically like fingernails in terms of material)

Okay, I will admit it. They are too cute to kebab, even though they come self equipped.

Maybe not, but I'm going to tell it like it is a rock solid established fact. If you ask me evidence, I'll tell you that I presented it already. Clearly, you can't accept reality, so you can't see the evidence. It's a plain as an Echidna. And in several categories.

I got the idea from a science fiction story I read as kid. Human explorers encounter a planet full of animals that become violently opposed to them from the moment they land. There is a frenzy to kill and eat the humans at every turn. They encounter this creature that is asleep in the middle of all this carnage. When it wakes up, it turns out it speaks very good English. When they ask why it doesn't get attacked. It says that its kind taste horrible.

That's enough evidence for me.

You talk more **** than me! I'm impressed.

I hear rabbits are pretty tasty.....

With brussel sprouts and butter. Yum

I think current understanding is that kebab evolved from fish spines.

They must be pretty tasty to have evolved all those spines to protect them from being eaten.

I have developed a rule that the more defenses a species has, the more tasty the species is. It is based on very ancient science from a language no one understands.

It's not a very scientific rule though. But some pretty inedible organisms have few apparent defenses.

My hypothesis is that the worst you taste, the more successful you are.

That explains seagulls.

Someone's account from Alaska somehow
involved trying to feed seagulls to starving huskies
that either would not eat or soon threw up.
