All dinosaurs are fakes.

The subject line summed up everything in the YT.

When most posters ask for a summary, they want to know who is speaking in the video and what that person's qualifications are. Net etiquette also suggests that the OPer include a specific reason why board members should watch that video.

Sorry, had to.

There is a special corner for people like you...

Sadly, that didn't happen here. I suggest we hunt down the OP and give him a million dollars for etiquette lessons.

Lesson One would be "How to give a **** about net etiquette."

One time The Voice had a comment about Adam Savage, "He has to do that kind of thing, it's in his contract."

Wait.

You have a contract?

 

[Sherman Bay]

Sorry, "science-based" thinkers, you've been lied to since you were kids.

"...so I did some googling and..."

End of discussion and time for lunch.

I have a couple out on me, yes.

Isn't this the book she mentioned? http://www.amazon.ca/Make-Your-Dinosaur-Chicken-Bones/dp/0060952261

Make Your Own Dinosaur Out Of Chicken Bones
Christopher McGowan

Most people would laugh if you told them you were having a dinosaur for dinner. But you can. Because birds evolved from dinosaurs, says renowned paleontologist Chris McGowan, that chicken from Sunday's supper is a direct descendant of those fearsome and perennially popular "terrible lizards."

To show this relationship and give readers a unique, hands-on introduction to the principles of paleontology, McGowan has devised a deliciously clever science project that kids of all ages can really sink their teeth into -- the creation of their very own dinosaur skeleton. Numerous illustrations guide readers step-by-step through the process of taking the bones of three chickens, some wire, glue, toothpicks and a few other household items, and building a model even the Museum of Natural History would admire. As they assemble their Apatosaurus skeleton, budding scientists will learn real-life paleontological practices as well as facts about evolution, anatomy, and, of course, dinosaurs. Featuring three recipes for chicken soups and salads to ensure that the chicken meat is put to good use, Make Your Own Dinosaur out of Chicken Bones is the perfect treat for dinosaur lovers of all ages.

If the description of the book is accurate, then I guess she (the Youtuber) didn't read it.

I would like to discuss the issue rationally.

Would you explain why you think a link to a video and an ambiguous title is sufficient?

I think I can answer that. It's because all dinosaurs are fake, so the video becomes irrelevant.

Indeed. Megalon and Ghidorah are still after you.

That chicks a pretty good troll, she's got everyone duped.

Good luck with that. Tell me how it comes out.

The one with the three heads was pretty awesome. :swoon:

Hm. I'm disapointed they chose a sauropod--chickens ARE therapods, so that'd be my inclination. It'd teach kids how to use clues from the bones themselves to figure out life position--something that's surprisingly difficult at times.

Still, I can attest to the importance of such practices. Paleontology by necessity deals almost exclusively with bones, so learning how to prep, analyze, and mount bones is very important. It's something that every practicing paleontologist I've ever met engages in to some degree--even the invert guys collect modern shells and disect modern organisms.

If that's what the book actually shows, it'd be a very good addition to any budding scientist's library--certainly NOT Creationist nonsense.

I would like to discuss the issue rationally.

I have tried doinig so. My conclusion is that it's not possible. A surprisng number of people here seem to think that merely posting a YouTube link is sufficient, despite the fact that many can't access them much of the time, that such videos often take a while to watch and are of dubious quality, etc. I don't get the mentality, nor the hostility that questioning that behavior excites in some people, but I've given up trying to have a rational discussion on that count.

"dinosaurs made of fake chicken bone"

pssst. Don't tell that chicken she is fat, she is only big boned. Also big teethed.
