Surtitles, also known as supertitles, are translated or transcribed lyrics/dialogue projected above a stage or displayed on a screen, commonly used in opera or other musical performances. The word surtitle comes from the French language sur, meaning over or on, and the English language word title, formed in a similar way to the related subtitle. The word Surtitle is a trademark of the Canadian Opera Company.

The male platypus has a spur on either hind foot that excretes venom. Though females are also born with the spurs, they fall off before adulthood. Aside from two other mammals -- certain species of shrew and solenodons -- harboring venom is a trait usually reserved for reptiles and amphibians.n fact, the male platypus produces venom mostly during the spring, which just happens to be when platypus couples breed [source: National Institutes of Health ]. Apparently, the venom isn't meant to kill other males, only to provide for a rousing fight.
