It looks like in the beginning the kids are rather sliding a figure 8 ... while the grown ups are doing an oval ... might either be that they changed the slide ... or ... different weight = different effect ...

I'm on a Mac with the latest version of Flash (10,2,152,26) and Firefox (3.6.13). I can see the YouTube video, but the play button is unresponsive. YouTube works fine everywhere else.

You have to hit the play button just right. I bang on the mouse with my dominant hand (which is not my usual mouse hand) and usually I can get it to "catch" just right after about 10-15 seconds, and then the embedded YouTube will play.

Usually opening the story in a new tab "unlocks" the video and I can play it. Opening the story in the current tab doesn't work.. no reasonable guesses why. I guess once a tab gets busted it stays busted?
