Keep in mind that "The Daily Show" is first and foremost, a comedy show.
Jon Stewart is usually being facetious, especially when parodying "the
average joe."  His comments should be taken as nothing more than that.

As fun as Jon Stewart's comments were, notice that we didn't get a
translation into inches.  And it looks like Bob and Lee are sticking to the
14 centimeters.  A few days ago Bob Woodruff's story ran on NPR, and his
wife Lee also described the wound as being 14 cm long.  The interviewer
didn't ask for a conversion to inches.  People are getting used to the idea
of medicine being metric. 

Bob's story is an amazing combination of tragedy, hope, and perseverance.  I
wish him the best.
