I know. Hence me saying at sea level. While what your roommate did is indeed boiling (and I have witnessed similar experiments, but with a bell jar and a vacuum instead of a bong), we are talking about boiling induced by heat here. In normal conditions, in regular pressure at sea level, water will boil at 100ºC/212ºF.
