I don't neccessarily believe in this stuff but it's still interesting

I dreamt I was working at or visiting a farm/wildlife centre place. I heard a sound and realised there were two death adders and a rattler near me. I quickly walked away but the rattler chased and bit me on the wrist. I got to see a nurse and she looked at it and assured me the bite was bad but not much venomn had gone into me. I wasn't so sure. I was also thinking about how we don't get rattlers in Australia so I thought it was weird it being there.

I dreamt a few weeks ago that I got bitten by a tiger snake and no-one would help me. Again I didn't die, I was up and walking rather quickly once I realised I didn't feel that bad at all. No venomn?

So, what's it all mean?

AWESOME!

God working out sex linked diseases in placentals is awkward enough and you only have 2 chromosomes to deal with (usually - there are many mutations that result in extra sex chromosomes), but with a platypus it must be a complete headache.

there is apparently more information in new scientist, check out their website. apparently the first two cromosones are similar to reptiles and the last two are similar to birds...

Yep.

Birds have W and Z chromosomes instead of X & Y and they work differently.

but see the reason scientists dont know much about the platypus is because everyone is still arguing if the plural is platypuses, platypi or platypodae
