Can a Flashlight Burn a Rug?

Can a Flashlight Burn a Rug?
The MN MythBusters' results? YES! 
Elizabeth loves to play with flashlights.  This time she turned it on and stood it up (facing down) on the rug.  As you can see, it melted it.  For the longest time afterwards, she'd go over to the burn/melted rug and say "flashlight".  David had to explain to me what happened.  Needless to say the flashlights are now on a high shelf in the closet.
Just a warning to anyone who uses a flashlight and may forget it on anywhere -- they have the potential to be a fire hazard.
