it's not unlikley that some professor made some such statement. altho, it doesn't fit the published measurements, and we have to take a look at his source data.

however, that statement, in quotes, when entered into google news, has no results. http://news.google.com/news/search?a...tures+cool.%22

are you sure this event happened recently? do you have better keywords, since you seem determined to make us search rather than providing a source link?

since google doesn't find it, perhaps you have been bamboozled, it would be interesting to examine your source.
