1) one fine day in Oz, we don't know of the playtpus
2) the next fine day in Oz, we find it
3) the following day, supervisors are raising heck because the platypus 
cannot exist in the known classifications.
4) a confusing day in Europe, those nuts in Oz came up with a platyus thing, 
and we haveto make a new class for it without rebooting reality.
