Guy that fainted at the spelling bee

[spliffstar69]

I think he did it to buy time.

searched for Bee ,Spelling and fainted so... i dont think its a repost

What was funny was how no one helped him.

 

[aylanl4]

Hey, he went on to win 2nd place, that is pretty good...

 

[rh71]

gonna need a clip to determine if he was buying time...

They're usually given a warning when time is 'running out' on them... it'd be obvious.

 

[maziwanka]

god. leave it to an indian to faint at a freaking spelling bee

 

[TheBDB]

He wasn't buying time. His eyes started rolling around, he fell over, got right back up and spelled the word immediately. It took about 5 seconds.

He probably locked his knees causing him to pass out. I have seen this happen more than once and although at the time when it happens it's no laughing matter it is awfully hillareous after-the-fact.

Maybe it was getting too warm under the camera lights.

 

[jagec]

I knew a little kid who would hold her breath until she passed out when she got REALLY mad.

Also leave to Indian (as in from India) to win Spelling Bee for last 3 years. And yet I have not started talking about the jobs

 

[andylawcc]

haha... that so cute/funny.


I think if you recite "Alopecoid" more than 5 times you can make anyone faint.

 

[SaltBoy]

All of those kids are freaks. Ever seen the documentary "Spellbound?"

 

[pulse8]

God that first few minutes were BORING.

How can anyone sit through those competitions. They sit there for half an hour just asking the same questions over and over again.

Isn't spelling just something you either know, don't know or could possibly just make up?

Nah, he wasn't biding time. Look at this eyes before he fainted. Pretty darn obvious he was about to faint.

Not only that, he didn't require much time to get back on his feet and spell the word correctly.

Proper spelling could be especially important to writers. You can't depend on a spell checker to save your behind, because sometimes you might misspell a word that is actually another word spelled properly, and the computer could miss it. But I digress... Anyway, what I never could understand the usefulness of were geography bees. Why the fell should I have to memorize tens of thousands of facts bordering on (or definitely in the league of) nothing but trivia? I was never forced by my parents to do that, and never felt like participating in any competitions, so maybe that's why I can't see the point of it, but whatever... (btw, while I think proper spelling in general is important, I don't see the point of needing to know the exact spelling and definition of every word ever invented in the English language, not to mention most of the rest of the words that came unmodified from other languages)
