| Feed a hungry man by testing your vocabulary Hey
A friend just gave me this website http://freerice.com
Its an addictive educational game, where they give you a word and 4 possible definitions/meanings of the word, and you select the one you think is right. The interesting point of this game is that its more than a game! For each right answer, they donate 20 grains of rice through the UN food program to help end hunger!
Check it out  so far this is my stats:
You have now donated
2280 grains of rice. |

Noticeable difference in Vocab Level 36+ and 30 - 32, as well! 
Thanks for sharing,

| $320,000  from the possible calculations for the CPM for the month and half calc. Wow. If so I wonder if the site owner donated any of that protion to the hunger program they were promoting. EDIT: Apparently its the World Food Program from one of the replies. |

Some poor bugger won't eat well if your vocabulary isn't up to scratch. How can that not give you a big 'ole guilt trip??  |
