That reminds me. In one of my now criminally wasted million moments of my life playing the 8-Ball Pool app, I happened to play someone named Keegan. Country: Australia. Probably a common name there though._________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |

What's odd about it? The platypus did what platypus do.

So now, I hafta know....what IS the plural of "platypus"?
Platypusi? Platypusses? Platypuses?
And what might you call a group/bunch/herd/gaggle of these creatures?

I believe the plural is actually platypuses, but platypi is more fun to say.
A group of them is a paddle.
