Measuring the temperature of a lightening bolt may well be in our sphere of scientific abilities, but I question the ability to measure the temperature of the surface of the sun. Unless they went at night.
One wonders if this is where the Crunchy Frog sketch by Monty Python’s troop is from. Toad Vomit lozenge to Ram’s Bladder Cup with its garnish of Lark’s Vomit.
Interesting sun fact: the atmosphere of the sun is 300 times hotter than the surface. The core is 27 million degrees. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/sounding-rockets/strong-evidence-for-coronal-heating-theory-presented-at-2015-tess-meeting

Now I know why Isaac Newton flunked out of Med School and became a Scientist.
Those lozenges must have been precursors to the jelly beans on Harry Potter.

I was gonna say “didn’t we talk about Newton earlier this week?”, but I realize now that was Get Fuzzy.

I wonder if Newton inspired Monty Python’s Whizzo Chocolate sketch? Did he invent Crunchy Frogs, too?

This is why we see no spider’s bar and grill.
Newton was skillful using hummingbird feathers.

Tarantula feeding habits: Believe it.
Lightning temperature: Believe it.

I knew the lightning fact, but the tarantula was so interesting, I have to add this to my saved comic strips.
