150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 C) would exceed the highest surface temperature ever recorded on Earth -- by a wide margin. I can't find a good reference at the moment, but I think 150F would be immediately fatal.

I think the infographic is humorously saying that you can find whatever level of excitement you want by taking the underground. Fishing is a boring 5 degrees, football gets you to body temperature, and music halls are a scorching 150.

Definitely not fatal. According to Wikipedia[1], the temperature in a sauna is "typically between 70 °C (158 °F) and 100 °C (212 °F)".

The high end of that scale is a little low. My sauna is regularly at about 105°C (221°F), and 110/230 is the starting temperature in the World Sauna Championsips.
