My teacher asked, "what is the most adaptable animal?"
I replied "humans" but he did not hear me, so I assumed I was wrong and when he told us to think about it and have an answer tomorrow, I did.
The next day, one of the class brains answered "humans" quite smugly and the teacher told him he was correct. I spoke up (I did not mention that I had said "humans" the day before) and told them (more or less) that actually the answer is birds because birds can live on every continent, yet humans can only adapt other environments to fit us, but that we can't live in extremes without shelter or clothes.
I got in trouble for being a "smart ass" of course, but I still maintain I am right. Plus I had the answer he wanted first. At that point was the beginning of me saying "fuck the man" and not caring about my permanent record.
