Friday afternoon, the Auditorium: Health Fair!

Instead of an assembly, today saw the auditorium decked out in Health Fair regalia. With all the rainy weather and winter rapidly approaching, Harriet had thought it would be wise.

She was standing by the door, smiling at students as they arrived and mingled, and there was a box filled with bright yellow plastic bags, which had --

FANDOM HIGH HEALTH FAIR

--stencilled on them in blue, with a wee gremlin logo underneath.

There just might be a few giveaways at these booths, so feel free to grab a bag before you go in.

[plz wait for extensive OCD

. The OCD, she is up. Have at it! ALL IS MODDABLE!]

Mill about, grab a bag, puzzle over why a Health Fair.

Peter walked in and grabbed a bag. It would go well with the deflated beach balls that he still decorated parts of his room with.

Mac snagged a bag as she came in, examining the little logo briefly and wondering what it was they were giving away to fill up these bags with.

John grabbed a bag because hey, he could gather some free stuff.

Molly grabbed a bag and went to check stuff out.

There's a table with calipers (http://www.sportstek.net/images/qsfj_lge.jpg) set out and instruction sheets (http://www.brianmac.co.uk/fatyuhasz.htm) on how to use them.

There's also a tank (http://www.wdg-technology.info/getdunked/images/tank_lg.JPG), filled with water, and a discrete booth to change into the provided swim clothes. Slip in and get your hydrostatic testing on (http://www.getdunked.com/home/default.asp)!

Once you're done, compare your body fat with the averages! (http://www.weightlossforall.com/fat-percentage-ideal.htm)

Lots of information about colds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold) and flu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza), and about how to avoid them. (http://www.sciencebase.com/How_to_avoid_colds_and_flu.html)

There's also big bowls of hand sanitizer (http://www.pfizerch.com/brand.aspx?id=310) and face masks, as well as tiny bottles of vitamin C and packets of tissues.

Help yourself!

Not dirty!

With the old fashioned glass (http://www.ehow.com/how_13193_temperature.html) thermometer, or the fancy ear type (http://www.healthtouch.com/bin/EContent_HT/cnoteShowLfts.asp?fname=02519&title=HOW+TO+TAKE+AN+EAR+TEMPERATURE+&cid=HTHLTH).

There's glass thermometers in a safety case to take away with you.

On each other, or on yourself (http://www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Stethoscope). There's lots to go around, but you can't take them away.

No blowing it (http://www.mybloodpressure.com.au/measuring.php) - or your classmates - up! Read the information and compare your readings to the charts (http://www.diovan.com/info/answers/blood_pressure_measured.jsp?usertrack.filter_applied=true&NovaId=1178761742665475386).

Given how stressed he found himself sometimes, Billy decided to try out the ~~Kevorkian Scarf~~ blood pressure bit and make sure he wasn't going to have an aneurysm or something.

There are many, many, many bandages. Long lengths of them, rolls of them. As many bandages as even a mad team of mummy repairpeople could ever hope for.

Wrap your fellow students, following the instructions (http://www.drugs.com/cg/how-to-use-an-ace-wrap.html). Or not.

There are also many types and variety of band-aids with cute ~~moddable remember to meta~~ characters all over them. Help yourself to a box or two!

Compare the old food pyramid (http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/uploads/pyramid.jpg) with the new food pyramid (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/MyPyramid1.png/600px-MyPyramid1.png), ponder why they changed it. Conspiracy theories welcome!

But more importantly, there's a huge selection of ~~totally moddable~~ foods from right here in Fandom. Coffee, pizza, ice cream, pastries...all the essentials for student life at Fandom High.

Create your own Fandom Food Pyramid, most important at the bottom, least important at the top!

Molly studied the food pyramids and wondered where caffeine fit as she ate a yummy pastry. "Caffeine needs a bigger wedge," she commented absently.

Lots of information here (http://www.health.qld.gov.au/istaysafe/), and Really Educational Videos (http://www.health.qld.gov.au/istaysafe/content/movies.html) ~~thank you, Queensland Government~~.

And, of course, lots and lots of ~~moddable~~ condoms (http://secure.condomania.com/Condoms/). Help yourself!

And oddly enough, there's a cannister or two of helium nearby, the sort used to blow up balloons. Not really sure how it ended up here ~~NOT DIRTY~~, but I'm certain people can think of something to do with it.

Given how often students turn into animals? This is totally necessary.

Read up on keeping your pets (http://www.petcaretakers.com/) - or temporarily transfigured classmates - healthy (http://www.avma.org/animal_health/default.asp).

There's catnip mice and rawhide chews to take away, and there's also a wide selection of ~~Tamagotchi~~ Virtual Pets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamagotchi) should anyone want to take one.

There's a caged off area, with sawdust on the floor, and a bin filled with food pellets outside.

Inside? Wee fuzzy critters! Grab a cup of pellets and head on in. Get to know a pet or two before deciding to get one of your own. There's crias (http://www.iseealpacas.com/Crias04forFarmNews.JPG), bunnies (http://mfrost.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2007/10/13/p6040051.jpg), guinea pigs (http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/797/931915.JPG), a wee donkey (http://mfrost.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2007/10/03/minidonks.jpg), and some pot-bellied piglets (http://www.pot-belly-pigs.com/pictures-images-gallery/pot-belly-pigs-20.jpg)! ~~Mod~~ Pat away!

"EEEEEE! Fuzzies!" Molly picked up several cups of pellets and went in to play with the animals.

EVERYTHING'S MODDABLE.

HAVE AT IT!

I mod your wallet! It is now mine! I'm ordering a pizza with my new money!

ZOMG WALLET MODDER!

I mod your pizza! The money in my wallet *only* buys pineapple and anchovy pizza. Mmmmm.

Good thing I had already taken the money OUT OF THE WALLET before ordering.

Yay sausage and mushroom!

I mod your address! Delivery of pizza in 3...2...1...!
