You know, I'm not entirely sure what their deal is with the whole "platypus" thing. I've heard that word all over their works, and it seems to be some weird inside joke with them. It's in Handlebars-- "Me and my friend saw a platypus" -- It's funny as hell, but random as moose boogers.
The Flobots mention platypus in a lot of their songs because a platypus is one of a kind, it is one of the only mammals that lay eggs. And the flobots are one of a kind because they have two rappers, two guitarists, a violinist, a drummer, and sometimes even a guy playing the trumpet.

It shows up in three of their songs that I know of, all of them on the Platypus EP. (the original version of Handlebars was on the EP). So I guess it just kind of came out during that time period but I haven't heard them refer to it anywhere else on Fight With Tools or later

I have been wondering this as well. In No W they mention it as well.
