Karl records his screen test for MTV today. Ricky and Steve 'educate' Karl alongside the usual Educating Ricky reading him two stories about the following:

1. Due to the data protection act companies are required to grind up all their silicon chips after using and they place the ground up pieces on the beach as it's basically the same as sand. Over time They noticed that the crab's behaviour was changing and they were starting to form geometric patterns, They decided to do some investigation and due to the way in which a crab's brain works They were able to draw out images from the crab's brain. As Ricky describes "you could release thousands of them onto enemy beaches and it would be like thousands of digital cameras". The story concludes with Ricky explaining to Karl that the baby crabs which came a few generations down the line had exactly the same memories as the original crabs.

2. A pregnant female body builder woke up one morning to find that her baby had been born (or as Ricky describes - pushed itself out of her vagina) during the night without her noticing, the baby was very strong due to the hormones the woman had been taking and was pulling the woman down the bed using it's umbilical cord.

Of course both stories are complete and utter Bollocks and were to show Karl just how gulliable he really is, he said he liked the stories and was only a little disapointed they weren't true.
