Ted Takes Fun Facts, Fahrenheit 451:
- Author Ray Bradbury never did any fact-checking in regards to the title. He asked a fire chief what temperature book paper burned at, and was given the answer "451 degrees Fahrenheit". He liked the title so much, he didn't bother to see if it was the correct temperature.
