Vocab is way too fun
Yelena gets credit for digging up this one. A delightful little vocab word quiz (easily played at work) that benefits the UN World Food Program. For every word you get right the participating sponsors donate 10 grains of rice. It's Freerice.com.

Ok, that doesn't sound lie a lot, but if you look at the daily totals it's gone from 830 grains on Oct. 7 to 56,893,100 grains on Oct. 30. This is growing exponentially so spread the word - boost some vocab and feed some people.

One discovery I've already made: Pert means "saucy." This begs the question, is PertPlus shampoo actually titled "ExtraSaucy"?
