It was 89.57. You rounded up. I love how have to type sentence after sentence about a subject you clearly know nothing about. It was a 27.3 m (89.5 ft) female caught off the South Shetland Islands in January 1925. Whether it was measured or not I can't say. It wasn't measured by a scientist in the standard zoological manner (in a straight line from the tip of the rostrum to the notch of the flukes) though, so it probably wasn't measured accurately (if at all). It was most likely measured alongside a factory ship during flensing (unless it was taken to the Deception Island station). This was just before the widespread use of stern slipways, so it would have been difficult to measure if it indeed was. The cited source should be Mackintosh and Wheeler (1929), which cite Risting (1928), which I don't have access to. Mackintosh and Wheeler simply say it was ""27.3 m. or 89 ft. 6 in."" (p. 321). Risting probably originally gave it in Norwegian feet, which Mackintosh and Wheeler converted into meters and English feet to conform to their figures. Also, you're a dumb bitch who runs her mouth about shit she knows nothing about. Say hi to Hiroski for me. )   "
