feed the mind; feed the belly

Knowing my love for all sorts of silly and brain-training games on my Nintendo DS Lite, a co-worker linked me Free Rice. It's a site that combines good fun with good will by testing your vocabulary for a good cause. The idea is that the more vocabulary words you get correct, the site donates 20 grains of rice through United Nations World Food Program. It all works due to the advertisements at the bottom of the page. The cash from the advertisements helps fund the rice. The site itself is non-profit. I really think this is a fun, mildly-addicting way to do some good at home, at work, on the commute home. Go check it out, you'll be linguistically lucid and a bountiful benefactor by the time you're done.
