Oh, Numnah! That's a Relief.



The Scripps National Spelling Bee is an event I look forward to every year. And you really wonder why? THIS, readers, is true entertainment at its finest.

Lucky for him, he won.

What %age of these kids are home schooled? And do you think these kids' parents are grooming them to be spelling bee champions from an early age... similar to Jon Benet Ramsey?

I still haven't seen Spellbound, but I have seen Akilah and the Bee (good movie). I'm pretty sure parents are definitely grooming their kids to be spelling bee champions.

Take a look at this post on yesbutnobutyes about the bee with accompanying video clips at the bottom:

Pay special attention to video clip #2 of the kid being interviewed on TV. It's painfully entertaining. And the caption is great.
