Ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC have been claimed to create a perfect liquid of strongly interacting quarks and gluons: its vicosity of this liquid might as low as a universal lower bound, conjectured from black-hole physics and string theory. I argue that experimental data clearly show large "viscous" corrections to several observables, at least 30%. The resulting estimate of the viscosity of QCD is larger than the lower bound from black-hole physics.
