Be a bit careful doing this - shorting out caps like that can cause them to start squirting electrolyte all over the place (nasty stuff!), or perhaps even explode if the pressure release is faulty.
Its not likely to happen from one snap, but if you keep doing it over and over for a while things can get risky.
Yes, that is the reason I don't have more pictures. Only shorted each of them twice. If I ever get my hands on more of them though, I plan to defeat the pressure release, take one out into a field and abuse it (reverse polarity, over voltage, maybe pound it with some AC power or set it on fire) until it explodes as awesomely as possible.
