Re: average temperatures: during the height of the COVID pandemic locally, a facility a managed care facility a dear friend was living in had instituted an automated system to screen for people running a fever. My average temperature when I measure is usually in the range of 97.0 degrees Fahrenheit. The system was set up with an acceptable *deviation* of 1.5 degrees without regard to whether it was positive or negative from that 98.6 "average". So, it would flag me as out-of-bounds and not issue me an authorization to enter the residents' area of the facility. I joked with the staff about the too-low temperature trigger, and asked them if it was to prevent vampires from getting in and bothering the residents. (By the way, I learned to trick the system by rubbing the heel of my palm against my forehead a few times, since it was using an IR sensor to read that part of the face. Someone with a cold can of soda and a few functioning brain cells could have tricked their way in while feverish just by holding it to their forehead for a few seconds before entering. Not exactly going all out to protect residents and staff . . . except, presumably, from vampires).
The US Army will still use a rectal thermometer for heat casualties (i.e. heat stroke) as it provides the fastest accurate temperature reading. Under the tongue is almost as accurate, but takes longer than a few seconds, which is less than ideal in life-threatening conditions.
I was amazed by the Hungarian answer - back in 1987, I was teaching population dynamics to 6th form students, and even then the Hungarian birthrate was below replacement levels.

Ben-Hur is also well-known for killing the most horses in a single movie. In fact, a lot of animal standards in Hollywood happened AFTER the atrocities in Ben-Hur.
@Caitlin, I am pleased to put your mind at rest about the horses that appeared in the 1959 version of Ben-Hur. I have yet to find any corroborating information to support the assertion that more horses were killed on that film than on any other film. In fact, I have found reliable information to the contrary. Snopes makes mention of problems on the set of the 1926 version of the film caused rumors to circulate in the press about the 1959 film starring Charlton Heston. Andrew Marton directed the chariot scene in the 1959 film and was exasperated with the press circulating rumors that were patently false. At a press conference, he snapped at reporters, "Twenty men and a hundred horses died while filming the race. That's what you want to hear, isn't it?" He wasn't saying that actually happened. He was telling the reporters off for continuing to circulate ridiculous, unfounded rumors to sell newspapers. Unfortunately, the press - being the sensation seekers that they are - printed that nonsense because it sold papers and people have accepted that lie as the truth for years and kept perpetuating the lie by saying, "it's well-known." There are a lot of falsehoods that are reported as truth (Catherine the Great having sex with a horse; George Washington had wooden dentures; Richard III was a hunchback; Albert Einstein failed math, etc.). Pololine reports that "...while some of the actors or extras suffered minor injuries while filming, it is worth noting that no horse was damaged in the shooting of the impressive scene..." Yakima Canutt was the horse trainer on the film. The article went on to say that "Canutt's safety methods are still used in movies that require horses." All of the horses used in the film had veterinarians, stable boys, trainers, and excellent care, but that doesn't sell newspapers or make for good TV coverage.

When it comes to the thermometer situation I believe it's exact. Yes, the thermometer is a few degrees higher however with a few degrees shy you get from your armpit logically would even out. Unless explained incorrectly on the show. 😉
