Every show had a special segment in which they attempted to create “new trivia” by conducting wacky experiments and finding out the results. While many viewers believed that the program was creating amazing new trivia, cynics and readers of neomarxisme had probably assumed that such segments were staged. Well, it turns out that the cynics were probably right: The episode in question was broadcast on Sept. 14, 2005.

But I wasn't doing a video capture at the time and I wasn't fully paying attention so I didn't get any screenshots of it. On an unrelated note, I really want to capture the latest Nova commercial.
