Just added 'Laodicean' to my repertoire

For one day a year, the American public forgets about reality television and embraces its nerdy side. The Scripps National Spelling Bee aired last night on prime-time with over six million viewers tuned in to watch 13-year-old Kavya Shivashankar become the new Spelling Bee Champion. The Daily Beast is featuring a list of the 7 best moments of the night which are pretty spot on.
Despite our failing education system, it's refreshing to see these talented kids who have dedicated years of their lives to memorize the dictionary. Granted, the title comes with more than just bragging rights. Shivashankar walked away with $30,000 and other prizes. But regardless, for one night, America was fascinated with some of the brightest faces of America's youth.
