Paraphernalia....seriously? Lol

I entered into a spelling bee contest yesterday and I lost. I lost because apparently the word "paraphernalia" has two "r"'s instead of one. Haunted by the word since my eviction, I decided to check out the varying descriptions and definitions of the word. According to the world's best student handbook Wikipedia, "In modern usage, the word paraphernalia most commonly refers to equipment, apparatus, or furnishing used in or necessary for a particular activity as in, "Beth is such an avid sports fan that her walls are covered with baseball paraphernalia". I have thus interpreted paraphernalia to mean an equipment of any kind for any purpose. I'm over the word now and seeing as I've got hunger packs or six packs dat result from morning hunger, I'm off to get me some feeding paraphernalia :)
Cheers
