mdoneil put five on The Sisters, The Librarians Won. Thursday’s competition went 12 rounds and, as expected, came down to the nuns and librarians, with a Kenton County Public Library team finishing third.
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.
“It was exciting,” Harmeling said. “Anyone who was left in the audience stood up and clapped.”
So how can we all collect that $5 you owe us?
