Did anyone see the ad on TV put out by Hewlett-Packard or Agilent
(I am not sure) where the little kid has a video-camera in a ziploc bag
inside the dishwasher ? After the wash cycle is over, the kid removes the
camera and happily watches the movie of the dishes being cleaned.

If you don't want to wait for cameras to become cheap enough, you
could try this with an old video-camera. Only if you are really really
curious and can afford to have the video-camera being damaged!
