I believe it!

Out of curiosity, did you take these with a digital camera, and if so,
does it have a 'movie' function?  My little digital Elph takes pretty good
small movies up to 640x480 for up to a I believe 90 seconds, or 320x240
for three minutes... not the highest framerate, it's probably 10-15 fps,
but it seems a great way to potentially document at least the humor of the
situation.  At least, it might be humorous on later viewing...! Fwiw the
movies have sound - though only via a quite cruddy mono mic...

Curious as I'd love to see those two guys squirming and bouncing... :)
(a 20 second movie runs 5 MB or so...).

 best,
  aaron
