Want to improve your vocabulary with a mind numbing but addictive time waster? Go to freerice.com. If you get 3 right in a row, you move up to a harder level. Get one wrong and you drop down a level. Try as I might, I kept getting bumped off on the 43rd level. Good Luck getting to level 50.

The concept being that every time you get one right, they donate 10 grains of rice to UN foodbanks. This is all based on the minimal ads that float on the bottom of the screen. I'm sure that this adds up pretty quickly with a large number of people playing, but 1000 grains of rice is about 1 cup....so it's not a big donation individually, but just on the 19th of November they raised 7333 lbs of rice.

So why not waste some time, learn some vocab and donate rice?
