The male has a pair of spurs on the hind limbs through which it delivers a cocktail of poisons that, while excruciatingly painful, is not lethal to most animals.

Hint: The poster you were quoting was using the correct definitions of "venomous" and "poisonous".

Not really. Poisonous means if you eat it or try to eat it you'll get the poison. Venomous means the beastie has a means of injecting it into you. Poisons and venoms are also very different in composition.

poi·son - a substance with an inherent property that tends to destroy life or impair health.

ven·om - the poisonous fluid that some animals, as certain snakes and spiders, secrete and introduce into the bodies of their victims by biting, stinging, etc.

Poison, toxin, venom are terms for any substance that injures the health or destroys life when absorbed into the system, esp. of a higher animal. Poison is the general word: a poison for insects. A toxin is a poison produced by an organism; it is esp. used in medicine in reference to disease-causing bacterial secretions: A toxin produces diphtheria. Venom is esp. used of the poisons secreted by certain animals, usually injected by bite or sting: the venom of a snake. 7. contaminate, pollute, taint.

A platypus may possess poison in the sense that you can call a venom a poison, but the platypus itself is still not poisonous and is edible.
