MyLifeIsAverage - Life is pretty normal today

On a History test we were asked, "Who was Michelangelo?". I answered, "Renowned artist/Ninja Turtle. Wore an orange headband. Weapon: daggers." My teacher marked this wrong and wrote back "WEAPON: NUN CHUCKS. CHECK YOUR FACTS." Teenage Mutant Ninja Teacher? Awesome. MLIA

at least you didn't get full credit for that fail. but it was humorous non the less.

[ - ] Boehm815Good: 60Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

At least you didn't say "I got 15 points extra credit and was guaranteed an A for both semesters."

[ - ] whattheheckisMLIAGood: 13Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

God, yes. I know.

[ - ] Awesomeness1Good: 8Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

Yes! When I first started the MLIA, I was fully prepared to "meh", but was extremely pleased that they did not get any sort of credit.

[ - ] MehPlusRawrGood: 0Bad: 532 years, 4 months ago

Probably lying. "Nun Chucks" isn't a word, nunchaku is.

[ - ] auggie903zoeGood: 15Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

Go back to FML, we have no doubters here. =P

[ - ] dairymilk42Good: 5Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

yeah- maybe. But who the hell knows the word nunchaku?? I, for one, know 'nun chucks'...

[ - ] NiNjAeLlAGood: 0Bad: 372 years, 4 months ago

your lying

[ - ] freddylunchGood: 7Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

Actually they can be called either, true nunchucks is one word but you didn't say that and I doubt anyone would be confused by what you said if you spilt it into two.

[ - ] RobinHood3000Good: 3Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

Even Michelangelo himself calls them "Nunchucks" from time to time, just let it go.

[ - ] FlameowGood: 3Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

Egg. Stop pretending to be Asian. :P

[ - ] MLIbelowAGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

Because that's what's out of place in this picture...if you're going to doubt, check your facts. Nunchaku is the proper term but when it hit the Western world and got romanized into English, a little something was lost in the translation. Happens all the time. Kung Fu actually translates better into "skill" or "ability." It doesn't literally translate into martial arts or "butt kicking." And yet, everyone calls Bruce Lee a Kung Fu master.

this is a sweet story : )

[ - ] ItzellianneGood: 6Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

This was so epic that I fell in love with it^^

[ - ] llamasarecoolGood: 8Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

The all caps definitely help with your teachers' point.

[ - ] littleteapot99Good: 3Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

sick teacher!

[ - ] sponopolyGood: 10Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

how could you forget that Michaelangelo had nunchucks so not cowabunga dude

[ - ] MLIbelowAGood: 3Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

AGREED! At least you got the color right. But man...how COULD you not know??

[ - ] whattheheckisMLIAGood: 7Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

I love this because you didn't get credit and it's still awesome.

[ - ] NoneOfYourBusinessGood: 4Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

The teacher in this post is new this year, straight out of college. I feel ashamed for not knowing he had nun chucks (nunchuka :P).

[ - ] karaswanGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

sorry dude thats a Fail.

[ - ] dragonriderGood: 2Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

listen to your teacher

[ - ] NicoleAlexandraGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

Wooh, at first I was worried that he might have given you full points

[ - ] MoonwalkerGood: 5Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

Umm I do believe that this teacher kicks ass. But way to try and sneak in an actually correct answer, as in: "Renowned artist." And extra points to your teacher for marking it wrong, yet still trying to be funny. True MLIA.

[ - ] roshamboeGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

duh man, Rafael is the one with the daggers. I can't believe you got that wrong.

[ - ] XiberrasGood: 0Bad: 22 years, 4 months ago

It's Raphael, and he didn't have daggers, he had sais. The difference being that daggers have blades, and sais are dull around the edges and their purpose is to repel blades. They're the exact opposite of daggers, if anything.

[ - ] crazynoviceGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

Hahaha you can't put down awesome answers like that if you are gonna get them wrong!! :P

[ - ] MehPlusRawrGood: 0Bad: 22 years, 4 months ago

Sorry, didn't mean to troll. I was grumpy, had little sleep, and noticed a typo. I'm a very angry amateur grammar nazi when I'm tired. XD.

[ - ] xomliaxoGood: 0Bad: 12 years, 4 months ago

THATS SO COOL

[ - ] life-is-averageGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 4 months ago

Your teacher is so cool xD

I think I'd ask to have a TMNT day in class one day. :{D
