Phase Two of Creation to Begin with User-Friendly Platypus

We are all hourly comforted by the inarguable and felicitous fact that the world was cobbled-together as an indivisible whole under Wotan's Monocular Gaze for the exclusive comfort and entertainment of man and women-kind. Sadly, while the flora and fauna rescued from the terrifying Day of Water-Mountains may have served as both adequate sustenance and intimate companions to our distant ancestors--benighted individuals who dwell-ed in trees and donned clothing made of bark and pine cones--they are hardly suitable accoutrement's to our delirious modern lifestyle. Happily, the plan was always to periodically update Creation to match--footfall for footfall so-to-say--the invariable advancements of humanity. First on the slate, and to be introduced within a fortnight, is the "New-Fangled" platypus (see above) --now a convenience to a nation, nay, a continent of enthusiastic beer imbibers and no longer a confusing and useless Outback Novelty (although McPlatypus was tried by a familiar Eatery Trust but sans success). Also planned are small, cuddly, toothless bears for the amusement of der Kinder, and a large yet gentle quadruped mammal capable of bearing a full-grown man (or woman!) aboard its back, making irrelevant the petroleum-guzzling conveyances present since the initial creation or Creation Phase I as it is now being dubbed by pundits. Rumors abound even of a new race of merrily uncomplaining micro-cephalic computing engine "in-puters," and highly desirable perma-babies that never attain maturity. Word too is circulating of new large fishes that are yet again mammals (!) who simulate high intelligence and serve as screens (of a fashion) upon which the Fantasy-Prone may project their myriad dreams and desires for aquatic communication and watery enlightenment. We await our new toys with child-like glee!
