Free Rice for Everyone!

Somehow, between all the Internet surfing I do and all the people I interview, I ended up at this totally awesome web site: Free Rice.

Before you follow the link, be sure to read this warning: Free Rice is addictive.

Here's why. You go there and a series of vocabulary words begins cycling on the screen. You are asked to click on the correct definition. If you get the answer right, grains of rice are donated to a hunger program somewhere in the world.

The more vocabulary words you know, the more bowls of rice you fill. The more time you spend on the site quizzing your vocabulary smarts, the more hungry people you feed.

The site is run by the World Food Programme and is supported by advertisers.

Check it out. As I said, it's addictive, but at least you're doing good.

How many addictions can boast that?!

I could do this all night! What fun to feed my word game addiction and the world at the same time!
