<wonders about weird cross-breeding of Platypi,choa and squirrles,which she apprently is having a hard time spelling today>

<wonders if it is possible for the mys-spellling virus to come to a thread>

<wonders even more what would happened if it were to breed with the Plat-choa-rles, and what it would then spell and how many diffrent ways she would end up mispelling it.>

<passes out from too much thinking>
