Notes: The World's Largest Thermometer is 134-ft.-tall, symbolic of the record high temperature in the US, in Death Valley -- 134 degrees Fahrenheit in 1913.

It juts up above Bob's Big Boy coffee shop in the town of Baker.
The thermometer was constructed by Electric Sign Co. of Las Vegas (manufacturers of many neon and bulb monstrosities of the Vegas strip). They used 33 tons of steel, and almost 5,000 lamps to render the three-sided digital display.

Near the thermometer, as a testament to the local climate, a frying pan with eggs appears to be a permanent monument.
