Lipreading

I have no idea what this site is about. I don't even know what language it's written in. But in the upper left corner, there's a series of images of a man talking forcefully, and I'd swear I know what he's saying. I wonder: is it actually possible to do a limited amount of lipreading, or is it just that I see the movement of his mouth, and I come up with words that would fit it, even though I've no idea if they are actually the right ones?

Looks like the site is in german, I have a few years of high school german under my belt.
I also believe the man is Penn (as in the famous duo of Penn & Teller), so it is completely believable that he is saying what you think he is saying. And yeah I am pretty sure we are thinking the same thing :-)
