   “I went back in time and hacked the newspaper”
   Non-sequitor.

   The newspaper article doesn’t prove anything but that a claim was made. But then there are people who believe in ‘bat boy’.

   By the way, was that ground temperature or air temperature? There’s a huge difference you know.

     Is anyone actually reading the article? THE THERMOMETER WAS POSITIONED IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

   While growing up in Southern Nevada we fried eggs on the side walk just to see if we could. It was so hot there that eggs would cook on the concrete and the asphalt was hotter.
