Since some of you are fans of Spellbound, I figured I would pass along 3XK's update on the Spelling Bee Championships:
"I was just watching the Spelling Bee finals, and this Indian kid..He couldn't figure out how to spell "alopecoid"..and after like 3 minutes, he just passed out..fell on the floor..got right back up and immediately spelled the word correctly. Maybe now I get why this is on ESPN. I've seen boxers that didn't hit the canvas that hard!
Anyway, it's still going on, and he's still in. They brought him out a chair for the following rounds."

Funny stuff.

Here's the news story (with video!)
