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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 had to explain to my 22-year-old boyfriend that mice do not grow up to be rats. 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 had to explain to my boyfriend that a tornado is not the same thing as a hurricane. I couldn't convince him, and he still won't talk to 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..

The things that some people get butt hurt over never ceases to amaze me.

Has he never watched Phineas and Ferb? Mammals can lay eggs!

I bet he also thinks Penguins can talk, sing, dance and live the Latino lifestyle. I feel as if I have ruined someone's childhood.

52- I'm not being a spelling nazi, not am I in any way trying to be rude. But your spelling of Evolution* made me giggle. I don't know how you figured to pronounce it like that to get the spelling. Hehe.

Reminds me of the time my boyfriend wanted to know if I was ovulating... Except he phrased it, ” are you laying eggs yet?” Young guys are funny sometimes OP. No biggy.

My senses tell me he failed grade 3 more than one time. Back on topic at least you can find someone who is more intelligent and more willing to accept when they are incorrect, FYL.

FYL but do you really want to be with someone who needs to be told penguins are birds and gets mad when they realize they're wrong anyway?

Wait, he actually saw how penguins laid eggs and he still didn't believe it? That's sad. Everyone is wrong once in a time, but stubbornly believing in your own idea while the evidence proves otherwise... dumb. Reminds me of a high school classfight: I (sharks are fishes) versus ten other pupils (sharks are mammals). We asked the teacher and what was her reply: "I have no idea." I'm still imagining sharks breastfeeding... On a positive note, such discussions make me feel like an incredibly intelligent creature.

Sharks are mammals, though. They're a part of the whale and dolphin family and give birth to live babies (as opposed to an egg).

And yet again someone who should ge back to primary school. How dare you lower my IQ with a post like that if you could just use google... Search for this photo: shark breastfeeding. No luck? Try this one: shark eggs. And what did we learn today? Some people are unbelievable stupid. And I'm an incredibly intelligent creature.

63 - Sharks are fish. Sharks have gills. Only fish have gills. There is no mammal that has gills. Sharks are not mammals. End of line.

#63, to make matters worse, sharks are not only fish, but are among the most ancient and primitive fish. They don't even have bones and have cartilaginous skeletons. This reminds me of the time I got in an argument about what color "chartreuse" is. I was alone saying (correctly) that it was bright yellow-green, but six or seven other students said it was some blend of purple-red. And this was at an Ivy League university -- idiots are everywhere!

For some reason, this FML made me think of the song, The Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang.
