No, but Mrs. F. did.

I heard the walls shake a bit.

Felt like a 2.5 / 3

Walking back and forth wont even leave a blur in this one. You must go there and stand without moving for a few days.

I just picked up a book positing that the camera obscura technique is how Leonardo da Vinci created the Turin Shroud.

Hope they can hold the camera still for that long.

Next, maybe they'd care to break the world record for the longest "call" made on a wire stretched between two tin cans.

If you really want to make the photo, get a pen laser and a tripod.

Aim the laser at the pinhole for a few minutes. This will guarantee you a place in history.

My first guess -- you're making an F-stop joke.
My second guess -- you're making a sex joke.
My third guess -- you guys are actually talking about an earthquake.
