Do you think God gets stoned? I think so ... look at the platypus.
Interpretation
The quote humorously suggests that the creation of unusual creatures, like the platypus, implies a whimsical and unconventional mindset attributed to God.
In this humorous quote by Robin Williams, he reflects on the absurdity of nature, particularly pointing out the platypus, an animal that combines features of multiple species. The implication is that such a bizarre creation could only come from a creator with a playful, perhaps altered state of mind, thus suggesting that divine inspiration might be akin to being 'stoned'. This promotes a light-hearted view of the world, indicating that the complexities of nature can be both amusing and bewildering.

I am remarkably likeable. Few people have ever been as likeable as I am. There is, frankly, no end to my likeability. People gather together in public assemblies to discuss how much they like me. I have several awards, and a small medal from a small country in South America which pays tribute both to how much I am liked and my general all around wonderfulness. I don't have it on me, of course. I keep my medals in my sock drawer.
