[as it got clear in a later post, the first sentence is to be understood literally; she actually asserts that God told her about this in a private conversation]
Something else the Lord revealed. There is one creature that scientist put together from some bones that they found. They created a whole new animal that never existed.
They took a long bone from each leg, and made a huge tail out of it. It became a dinosaur with a long neck, short legs, and a long tail. The bones were actually from a giraffe. #Rofl

maybe she's getting mixed up about Archaeoraptor ?
a chinese farmer had it faked (to make money), a US publisher broadcast the story (to make money), and scientists proved it to be a fraud (because they hold truth in higher regard to money).
"Something else the Lord revealed."
Your imaginary friend told you something?
"There is one creature that scientist put together from some bones that they found. They created a whole new animal that never existed."
And, you know this because your hallucination of a deity told you so?
"They took a long bone from each leg, and made a huge tail out of it. It became a dinosaur with a long neck, short legs, and a long tail. The bones were actually from a giraffe."
Just because YOU cannot tell the difference between a femur and a vertebra doesn't mean that the rest of us are that ignorant. Also, dinosaur bones are easily distinguished from the bones of a giraffe.

[b]Don't laugh too hard, YOU'RE the butt of the joke.
If what moog said is the same as the specimen I'm thinking of, the two animals that made up the fossil both turned out to be dino-bird transitionals. So by trying to fool the palaeontologists, the hoaxer had actually given them two new fossils for the price of one. Ha!
Brain in a jar:
Fundies wouldn't recognise it as sarcasm, because they actually do that.
They assume their opponents do too.
Berny: Not quite, fundies create frauds to support their claims,
and they assume their opposition does too.
Julian, that's nice of you to provide some educational material so conveniently. I note that the full height of the giraffe comes up almost to the shoulder of the brachiosaurus; this alone demonstrates how wildly off God was in his sense of proportion when spinning his lies to that girl. 9_9
Heck, if nothing else, maybe we can at least get her to realize that it wasn't God after all; she might think it was Satan, rather than just her own hallucinations, but at least then she won't be taking everything "he" says as true anymore!

Very nice link Julian, it inspired me to compare the actual skeletal structure of a giraffe and a brachiosaurus:

Note that the giraffe only has seven bones in its neck, the Brachiosaur has twelve. Also, to suggest that tail bones look like leg bones is simply absurd, the diagram Julian posted shows that a dinosaur's tail is made of a series of smal vertibra, not a few long leg-like bones.
Quiet, you.
Anyone with any sort of education in anatomy can easly tell the difference between a leg bone and a tailbone, but you probably never took anatomy, didja?
That's not what I told you medammit! Maybe I did...I was pretty drunk. I was gonna call some old girlfriend of mine but I decided to prank call you first. If I said that, I'm sorry. I was totally jerkin' you there. By the way, Gabbylittleanus, if you tell anybody else that I called you I will smite your sorry ass. ANd stop using that #Rofl thing, everybody is sick of it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
