It's 23:47. It's late, and the design and coding team is exhausted, strung out on too much caffeine, and a little punchy. Too many hours, too little food, and everyone's snapping at each other. But the Day 4 deliverables are almost done, and everyone's looking forward to getting a little downtime before the start of a fifth, gruelling, full day. The only consolation is, if they get everything done on time, they'll get a full day off.
Then the project lead slaps himself on the forehead. "We forgot Australia!" Oh, sh-. And we were almost done.
No time to do it right. Slap some tag-ends of code together, and give it a quick run-through to see if there are any flaws. Do a thorough debugging? Nah, if it works, post it and fix any problems in the first patch. But, as a bit of black humor, the design team makes everything deadly poisonous.
And so the world got the platypus.
