Animals: Today, my boyfriend and I were watching TV and there were penguins...

By difference between birds and mammals. - 03/09/2012 00:10 - Australia

Today, my boyfriend and I were watching TV and there were penguins laying eggs. He said, "Penguins are mammals, they don't lay eggs." I replied, "Penguins are birds." We fought about it for ages until he realised that I was right, and has since stopped talking to me. FML

Today, I had to convince my 20-year-old boyfriend that not only is his aquatic turtle a reptile, but that it's also cold-blooded and thus can't regulate its own temperature just by going into its shell. He still thinks I'm the stupid one. FML

Today, I went to the Natural History Museum with my boyfriend. While we were standing in front of real dinosaur bones, he told me he didn't believe in dinosaurs. FML

Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom, because apparently I'm an idiot for not sharing her belief that chickens are mammals. She has a university degree in this stuff. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were watching a TV show about wildlife. The moment the narrator said the word "peacock", my boyfriend broke down into hysterical laughter. He laughed to the point of tears, and had to excuse himself. I'm dating a man-child. FML

Today, I was so baked out of my mind that I argued with my parakeet over who farted. I could be wrong, but I think I lost the argument. Worse still, my boyfriend had been standing in the doorway long enough to hear everything, even me farting. FML

Today, I had to explain to my husband that it's biologically impossible for cats and dogs to cross-breed, and that his "brilliant idea" of getting ours to mate is just plain disturbing. He still doesn't believe me. FML

Today, I was cuddling with my boyfriend watching a movie, my boyfriend then leans in and says: "You know, you're my favourite girlfriend." I then jokingly responded by saying: "You say that like I'm not the only girlfriend you have right now." I hate being right. FML

Today, my boyfriend found an empty snail shell. I tried messing with him by saying the snail had turned into a slug, like caterpillars turn into butterflies. He quickly replied, "Yeah I know. I'm not a tard, babe." and said he'd been taught all that and more back in school. What the hell? FML

Seriously? He doesn't deserve you if he's that immature. And he's also not the sharpest tool in the shed..

I wonder what would happen if you gave him a placebo pill and told him it will make him always right for the next 24 hours.... Question is, how many things would he get incorrect?

A platypus is a mammal. They also lay eggs.

Bill of a duck. Venomous like a snake. Tail like a beaver. 2/3 lay eggs.

Mammals have fur not slick feathers like penguins..

Penguins have feathers. Therefore, penguins are obviously velociraptors from Jurassic Park 3.

He'd still be wrong considering platypi (plural platypus) are egg laying mammals.

I once argued that owls weren't birds. Guess I went brain dead that day.

Penguins don't nurse their young. Therefore they're not mammals. OP, hopefully your boyfriend just had a brain fart and is embarrassed.

How dare he insult me by calling me a "mammal". I don't want to be one of those hairy things. I will stick with my flightless wings and swim over just to slap your boyfriend.

Immature boyfriends are never worth it. If something so petty upsets him so much, maybe you should reconsider this relationship. Also, penguins are ******* awesome.

You know sex doesn't fix everything right? I mean if all you do when something is going wrong is **** them that doesn't say very much about you now does it?
