Today, I laughed when I shouldn't have and am probably fired. What happened? My boss asked me if birds were reptiles. I thought he was kidding. FML

Well they aren't as different as you think. Birds are descended from dinosaurs.

Well, I wouldnt want to work for him anyways

I don't know how old you are. But in my university biology II class it is cleary stated that and known that birds are indeed reptiles. It is something not commonly known by most people but the fact of the matter is, birds are reptiles.

scientists have finally decided birds are in fact reptiles

Rule at work: never be the first one to laugh. If you are, whip out your cell and ask if your boss has seen the latest cat videos.

Hahaha! lol :P They could have been though! They are related to dinosaurs. But still, thinking birds are reptiles... Yeah, that's pretty bad X)

Birds actually are reptiles. There are so many bird nuts that make a huge deal out of them, so the scientific community essentially gave them their own class. Besides flight, birds are functionally identical to reptiles. My source is a college zoology course, not wikipedia.

Birds are reptiles actually... So who is the idiot? You?? Hence why you got fired... Hmm.

They are descended from reptiles but are a separate species now, that of avians.
