I found this awesome site through digg.
it is called www.Freerice.com
you just answer vocabulary questions.
that is it.
for each question you get right, 10 grains of rice are give to the hungry.
questions vary is difficulty, from non-english speaker, to Scholar.
it is great! and it reminds me alot of the OMM!
it is incredibly easy, and acessable to all, it dosnt even require flash!
what is your average vocab level?
mine is 32.
plus, you can google the word if you cant figure it out! (it dosnt tell you not to!)
(i read the dictionary sometimes  )

Some of them are word's I've never heard before. XD So I'm guessing a lot.
Very cool though :3
And it's funny, I never thought of using google XD
My vocab level is usually around 25-30

Hrmm... I started having some trouble when I got to 50, I wasn't able to get higher than it. Also, every once in a while a definition would surprise me, I would think I know for a fact what "lucid" or something means, and the definition I'm looking for isn't up there. I did donate a bit over 1000 rice... rices.. multiple rice pieces though. I would say the site is a good way to waste time... except you're not wasting it. I'll tell some of the people at my old high school, see if the computer teacher will make the kids in class do it. Or perhaps the english teacher.
Anyways, cool site, Thanks Jeran! |

i managed to donate around about 1500 grains.. lol. i found that google took too long to find definitions. go to http://dictionary.reference.com/ it should work way better.
