Accidental Troll of the Day: A spelling bee participant has an excruciatingly tough time making out the word he’s supposed to be spelling. (Skip to 0:34.)
In the comments, he provides some additional context:
To all people: This is a real spelling bee one level down from Nationals. I wasn’t able to hear the word (speakers were pointed at audience and not us spellers) Many people failed hard and one tried to copy my epic troll(wasn’t trying to be just trying to figure out the word) but failed hard. This is real and was not staged. It’s [me] failing hard.

![“Silent Evolution” sculptures (pictured in October) sit in just 30 feet (9 meters) of water, which allows visitors in glass-bottomed boats to also observe the artwork, according to a museum statement.
Boatbound visitors can also see big schools of fish above the statues, Taylor said.

Amazing art! —> “Goldfish Salvation” by Riusuke Fukahori
Artist Riusuke Fukahori’s London debut exhibition “Goldfish Salvation” transforms ICN gallery into the world of goldfish. When struggling with artistic vision, Fukahori’s pet goldfish became his inspiration and ever since his passion and lifelong theme. His unique style of painting uses acrylic on clear resin which is poured into containers, resulting in a three-dimensional appearance and lifelike vitality.
Over the years the goldfish breeding business has reached an extreme, perfecting goldfish in a variety of colours and shapes, they are admired as beautiful objects like ‘living sculptures’. Fukahori’s brush strokes capturing the liveliness, delicacy and dynamics of the goldfish and his sculpture works create an illusion by using resin to captive the painted surfaces creating a truly ‘living sculpture’.
This exhibition features twenty new painting works by this leading Japanese contemporary artist.
Exhibition: 1 December 2011 – 11 January 2012
(Gallery closed between 23 Dec - 3 Jan)
Opening Party: 1 December from 19:00 (Private View: 30 November from 19:00)
Live painting by Riusuke Fukahori: 3 December 14:00 - 15:00
Workshop “Time for Tea”: 3 December 15:00 - 16:00

Saw this intriguing bit of art at the new Sacramento Airport terminal. Check it out if you ever find yourself there. The inscription on the floor says…
Their Words are Music to Your Ears
Welcome!
If you are hearing a choir, it is created by a fellow traveler using the free internet station, on the other side of the horn. Every typed word is processed into Braille dots and run through a virtual music box to become this music to your ears.
