Items Not Allowed at the Austin Energy Regional Science Festival, as Interpreted by LOLCATS and Other Popular Internet Phenomena (Part Three)

No bacteria or mold cultures


Note: The popular Internet phenomenon of LOLCATs has given rise to LOLBUNNIEs, LOLHAMSTERs, LOLBEESs, and other fauna captioned with pidgin English.

This, however, is the first known appearance of LOLGERMs.

Thank you for joining us at this exciting moment in Internet history.

So What IS Allowed at the School Science Fair?

When you review the rules for the regional science fair, you will find them rather, uh, restrictive. Not to worry, most of the restrictions can be handled by including models or photos in your display rather than the real thing.

How about the School Science Fair? Two basic guidelines:

  1. Common Sense
  2. Ask your child's teacher
So if you want to do an experiment growing bean sprouts, and you are worried because the regional science fair will not allow animal or plant matter, ask your teacher, and if your child is selected as a representative for regional, use pictures instead of the real exhibit.

The one rule that cannot be avoided is no experiments that make animals unhappy.
