Somewhat serendipitously, this made 1.25oz of the cappuccino I was sipping (a 6oz beverage with 1.5oz of espresso, 3oz of milk, and 1.5oz of foam) come out of my nose and now I have to clean my computer screen of the 1.75oz of espresso, milk, foam, and saliva that sprayed from my mouth.<br />
<br />
...thanks.<br />

Interesting. Not sure if you read the thread that I linked to just now, but at the time I challenged someone to produce a pic or some definitive documentation that supported the link to the monks. Not that your camera operator isn't definitive :).
