Hjärnkontoret! One of my favourite shows as a kid.

[Nova]

Mmm! What a good show it was, hjärnkontoret...

[Dogma]

Haha those were the days. Great kids-show, didnt know they still did it.

What a terrific find! Pluto, your discoveries are all so wonderful that I almost hesitate to say that you are surpassing yourself.

Any of the Scandinavian brethren wish to provide a rough translation? For that matter, some of the sneezes appear genuine; is this at all likely? In any case she is a superb fake sneezer.

Hjaernkontoret eh? Some sort of shop? I think I'm thinking of Konditorei,.

Well played Sweden. Well played.

Here's another one that starts out well as far as the audio is concerned:

I have no idea what the content of the conversation is, though.

Here is an interesting photo and clip description (in Finnish) that I found via an image search for "aivastus":

I could not figure out where to view the clip until I found this:

Unfortunately, the clip would not play for me. I hunted around and came up with these two links:

They play, but I have not been able to figure out how to download it (DownloadHelper does not list any media on these sites).

Whatever she's saying (though I think I have a hint ), it's beautiful! 'Nysning' is beautiful in any language

Though I would still like to read a translation if anyone can do one xD

The way she says "peparr" (sp?) - so nervously like that? Cute as heck Also, her sniffles at :27 and :36 sounds as real as the sneezing does, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was real! She's a fantastic actress either way

Hjärnkontoret (or hjarnkontoret for those of you that cant read ä) is a Swedish kids-show that explains random facts of life scientifically in a way that kids would understand. In this clip the host of the show answers questions that have been sent in by children and this question was: what is a sneeze? So while explaining the workings of a sneeze and why people sneeze she uses pepper to make herself sneeze. It is hard to tell if they are real or not but I must say that if they arent real she is one hell of an actor! I hope that gives you atleast some background to it all =).

A rough translation Count, though someone who speaks Swedish might do better....

Hjärn is brain. Kontoret means the office (et kontor, an office) so I guess The Brain Office, though that would seem an odd title in English.

What she's saying, I can give you the gist, though if you want an exact translation, you would need to ask someone who can understand Swedish better than I can.

Sneezing is the body's way of getting rid of something that is causing irritation in the nose such as dust or bacteria, or .... pepper perhaps!

I think you know what happens next! They do sound very real and if she's faking, they are excellent.

Sneezing is a reflex (I think something along the lines of it being something you can't decide on, not sure of that part) the brain starts the sneeze reflex, you first draw in lots of air and then it is expelled powerfully (again not sure of this part but would hazard something along the lines of clearing out the nose of whatever is irrititating it).

The air is expelled at about 100 km/hr, very fast. If you sneeze (something or other), (sneezes on the screen, thus demonstrating the last point) then there comes up to five thousand droplets, perhaps it's better not to think about it during cold season!
