As the season draws in and the germs come out of hiding (or fly over from Asia) to attack us, many of us find ourselves in the position of being ill in bed. While it's nice to be away from work/school it can also get boring when you are confined to bed with all manner of symptoms.
So, with this in mind, here are a few tasks and games to keep you occupied while you suffer:
1) Hallucination Station.
It's all very well seeing floating skulls and scary things while you have a fever, but the mind can be made to behave, so try making a list of other things you can see, how about:
Pink Elephants from Dumbo
A dancing line of Jellybabies
Your mum dancing the cancan
Kylie Minogue stripping
Hint: If you still see scary things, try talking to them instead of screaming, they might talk back.
2) Snotlympics
So you have a runny nose that sends green ooze flying every time you sneeze? Good, that means you are in the running for the Snotlympics. Simply get a toilet roll and un-roll it across the length of your bed in front of you. Now try to sneeze and let that snot fly. See if you can beat the 50cm mark, then go for gold by getting it to the end of your bed.
Hint: Why not try different methods for success: toss your head back and violently jerk it forward when you sneeze for a powerful volley.
3) Sweat Collector
Feel those beads of sweat dripping from your head? Well, why not see how much you can collect, then post the results on a forum like this and see if you can be beaten. All you need is a measuring jug and the ability to collect your salty sweat.
Remember, wringing clothes out doesn't count!

Hehe.
If I'd tried Yoda's high pitched voice back when mine was croaked, I probably would've end up sounding like Chewie! :-D
It's gone now but I'll try some animal noise next time! :-D

See how many animal sounds you can make, or learn to speak like Yoda and tape it, then send it to George Lucas.
