@ Rhyne: do you normally jump all over someone over some silly mistake? I’d hate to be your coworker…

Regarding the balloon, it reminded me of a coelem – our evolutionary ancestors, before the development of segmented bodies.

That’s not a balloon, it’s me on a trampoline!

Einstein, it’s the same thing. High speed photography produces slow motion effect.

“Slow motion is a technique in film-making whereby time appears to be slowed down. It was invented by Austrian August Musger. Typically this is achieved when each film frame is captured at a rate much faster than it will be played back.”

So before you become a correction Nazi, make sure you know wtf you’re talking about.
