how long is a piece of string?

Is a piece of spaghetti the same size as a brick? I think the BBC is amazing, blah, but lots of the copy on the website isn't good enough:
The discovery of fossilised remains belonging to the world's largest snake has been reported in Nature journal. Titanoboa was 13m (42ft) long - about the size of a London bus - and lived in the rainforest of north-east Colombia 58-60 million years ago.

The BBC has now corrected this story. Not, I'm pretty certain, because it reads this blog.
