Despite being the smallest US state, Rhode Island has the longest official name of all 50 states; it's official name is the "State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations".
If we're talking strictly the commonly said names of the 50 US states however, then Massachusetts, North Carolina, and South Carolina are all tied for the longest name, with all 3 of those states having 13 letters in their name.

Technically, Frankenstein is not the name of the monster in the Frankenstein story. Frankenstein (specifically Victor Frankenstein) is the name of the person who creates the monster with neck bolts. The monster is often just called "creature", "demon", "monster", and "it" in the original Frankenstein novel.

As in "Frankenstein's monster". The title of the original novel referred to Victor Frankenstein, as is clear when you add the subtitle " the new Prometheus"

According to Mario's Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy in the Japanese version of the game, he is "about 26 years old". That would make Luigi 26 years old as well, since, according to a Nintendo Direct from February 14, 2013, Satoru Iwata stated that the Mario brothers are twins. Since they do not appear identical to each other, it can be assumed that they might be fraternal twins. That would mean that Luigi is still Mario's younger brother, but only by a few minutes.

Ninth line, third from the bottom, you'll see a 26.

When eating something really spicy, the best thing you can do to subdue the heat in your mouth is to drink milk. Whole milk is better than skim milk because it contains less water. Water does little to subdue the heat in your mouth from eating something spicy. Generally, any milk/dairy-based food will also do wonders to cool down your mouth, including yogurt.
