Why do sitting men raise the heal of a foot and jiggle their legs up and down? While seated in a shopping centre cafeteria I noticed four men of different ages all jiggling their right legs up and down while eating or talking. I timed their 'jiggles' at approx 208 times a minute and this seemed similar for each?

What is the maximum temperature a body can reach when exposed to nothing but direct sunlight at sea-level? Please assume that there are no lenses or mirrors in place to collect more of the sun's heat than would normally reach the body. I understand that the body needs to be "black" and perfectly insulated on shady sides. I'm really asking (I think), what is the temperature of a sunbeam?
