Technology can be wonderful!

Through several miracles of technology, it is now possible to capture images (even ones not really meant to be captured in the first place), and post them for others to enjoy.
For example, there's a scene in The Aaron Burr Story where Mr. Burr is hosting a "hoe-down" in the Boonesborough tavern to celebrate... something. While most of the settlers are dancing, Mingo is standing to one side with Cincinnatus, Jericho and Dan'l. What I noticed when I watched this scene was a split-second of time as the camera first switches to a close-up of this group on the side, when Ed Ames maybe didn't realize the camera was rolling. He made a funny sort of face that one might make while bored and waiting for something to happen, then a split-second later realized the camera WAS rolling, and got back in character. So I took that moment and stepped through it using DVD player software, and lo and behold, we have what looks for all the world like Mingo either assessing some pretty woman across the room, or maybe even blowing a kiss.
It's a fun thought to go with a fun image:
