Stromuhr
Ohio teen Anamika Veeramani won the Scripps National Spelling Bee Friday night with the word stromuhr, an instrument for measuring the flow of viscous substances.
"I'm really, really happy. This is one of the best moments of my life," the 14-year-old said after the annual spell-off.

OMG, I usually think of myself as a person who knows a lot of words--but I've never even seen that one before--nor had I seen at least half of the words the kids rattled off in the final rounds. And they were all as cool as cucumbers. It was pretty riveting. Congratulations to Anamika--she was awesome!
