Who would have thought that people as far away as Toronto would be interested in a spelling bee in Northern Kentucky?
That's what happens when three undefeated nuns takes on a trio of unbeaten librarians.
So begins the story in the Cincinnati Post last Friday.
A tough match-up, but the librarians prevailed:
The sisters bowed out when they couldn't spell "chimopelagic," a word that describes organisms that live deep in the sea and come up once in a while for light.
The Boone County librarians spelled that word correctly, then spelled one more word correctly for the win - "trinitrotoluene" - otherwise known as TNT.
Read the whole story.
