for everyone

This is a very cool website which will donate 20 grains of rice to the hungry for every word whose meaning you correctly guess. Have some fun, improve your vocabulary, and help feed a hungry person somewhere in the world!

funny - i just came across nosegay in the book i read over holy week -- you have to be into 19th century english literature to find that one -- i was reading "the woman in white" by wilkie collins :)

yes, it's a really interesting concept -- some guy invented the online game program and then offered it to the world food program as a fund-raising initiative -- they get sponsors to pay for the rice that's won by allowing them to put their advertising banners on the site -- maybe we can get them to design a freebooks.com website for our real life scholars! :-)
