...I do wish transcripts, or summaries, were considered non-optional. Some of us are hard of hearing.

IMHO, such a statement is sufficient grounds for termination of marriage. The only remaining question would be "divorce or murder?" Which did you choose?
Agreed. I honestly couldn't live with someone who held such views. My library consists of two sections: stuff proving those people wrong, and fiction.
Certain types of crazy I can live with. That's a step too far.
Yes, yes it does - including every species and sub-species!!!

Yes, it's a joke. Look at some of her other videos.
Yet, sadly, there are people who really do believe that dinosaur fossils are faked. I had a biology professor tell me about the time when he lived in Montana and his daughter's 1st grade class got to go on a field trip to a dinosaur fossil dig. A couple of her classmates weren't given permission to go by their parents because they claimed that fossils were just rock carvings created by scientists to lead people away from their savior Jesus Christ.

She reviewed the book, "Go The ◊◊◊◊ To Sleep". This book is a parody of a children's bedtime story book. She has reviewed actual children's books.
She has also made a lot of make up videos because in her words people are apparently so stupid that they would rather watch some nobody put on makeup than figure it out themselves. You can confirm this in "How To Straighten Your Damn Hair", "You Need My Advice, Idiot", "Maybelline 4 Dummies (You)" and "Look Less Ugly this Summer".
You can also learn a lot about her perspective from such videos as "2009 Sucked", "K-Mart Sucks", "Honey Bunches of Oats Sucks", "Emily Dickinson Sucks", "Britney Spears' New Video Sucks", "Dating Websites Suck", "Public Restrooms Suck", "Why Being Young Sucks Now", "Subway Surfers Sucks" and "The Lincoln Tunnel Sucks". Her videos are typically pessimistic and insulting with some core common sense view. For example, why would someone write a children's book about animals wearing underwear? Her videos apparently appeal to some people because I believe she has 50,000 subscribers. On a more serious note, she has MS and works to raise money for this.
In terms of her video on dinosaurs, the content is clearly based on a nearly complete absence of any real knowledge about dinosaurs. She claims they were not found until the 19th century. This is false actually. As I recall, Thomas Jefferson had a piece of sedimentary rock with fossils and he was not the first. The oldest reference I can think of was a Greek vase with a fossil painted on it.
You never see one outside of a museum and they were all found by scientists. This is false too. You can in fact find examples where people have included fossil bearing rock in floors and walls in private homes. Indiana is not exactly the fossil capitol of the world but I have several fossils I found myself. I could show anyone fossil shellfish in the road cut south of Richmond Indiana. Once in awhile you can find trilobites there. In Indiana and other parts of the Midwest, you can pick through any river gravel and find Crinoids. We called these Indian Beads when I was a kid because they look like something man-made. In reality, they are the fossilized segmented bodies of sea creatures such as Agaricocrinus americanus. They are very common and found daily by non-scientists.
You have to pay to see them. Well, moving and cleaning a large fossil is not cheap just as traveling as a band is not cheap. That's why people generally pay for live entertainment. And, once you've gone to this trouble with fossils, you really don't want them left out in the weather or where someone could steal them. Note that you don't find valuable paintings displayed on a card-table on the sidewalk or find valuable sculptures with ivy growing on them.
The book about dinosaurs and chicken bones is on building a small model that mostly resembles either an apatosaurus or a t-rex. You use the neck vertebrae from three different chickens for both the neck and tail on the apatosaurus. Of course, the neck vertebrae don't taper enough so you have to grind down some of the vertebrae to make the smaller pieces and the smallest parts of the tail near the tip are not even made from vertebrae. You get something that in no way resembles the fossil remains of an actual dinosaur.
