"Do you think God gets stoned? I think so... look at the platypus"

- Robin Williams

About this Quote

This quote by Robin Williams is a humorous method of pointing out the absurdity of the natural world. The platypus is an animal that is distinct in its combination of features, such as its duck-like expense, webbed feet, and beaver-like tail. It is also among the couple of mammals that lay eggs. This combination of features is so odd that it could be seen as a joke, and Williams is recommending that God must have remained in a spirited mood when He developed the platypus. He implies that God must have been in a state of modified awareness, such as being stoned, to come up with such a weird animal. In this way, Williams is poking fun at the idea of a divine creator, while likewise mentioning the appeal and strangeness of the natural world.
