The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 2 Billion degrees kelvin
That's about 3.6 billion degrees F! As a comparison, the interior of our sun is a relatively cool 15 million degrees K. Those wacky scientists at Sandia National Labs using the "Z-machine" in 2006 The strangest part is that the scientist still don't know how those temperatures were reached.

Engineering students at Purdue University claim that on the average, it takes 364 licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop. However this was using an artificial licking machine they developed.
(yeah, that's why these dorky engineering nerds invented a licking machine) This has been challenged 20 volunteers tried the experiment using their actual tongues and averaged 252 licks. Other studies averaged out to 144 (Swarthmore Junior High School) and 411 (University of Michigan) licks.

Peter Sellars was to perform the role of the B52 Command Pilot in the movie Dr. Stranglove. But because of injury he was unable to work in the confined space of the aircraft set. So Slim Pickens was called to play the role of Major Kong.

Dan Blocker and John Wayne were also considered for the part of Kong.
I don't think either of them could have carried it off as well as Pickens
