FreeRice

This is pretty cool -- an on-line vocab game that will donate 10 grains of rice to the UN World Food Programme for every question you get right.

FreeRice <-- play here

BBC story on the game

I got to 350 grains of rice and the questions got too hard for me. And I call myself a writer :P

Anyway, something to pass the time that will do something good for someone else.

cool. I'll echo jedibuttercup, though - i learned all my words from books! Unfortunately, that means I can't pronounce them in person, but I can make an educated guess at synonyms by thinking of phrases I've read... I stopped at 1000 and lvl 49. There has to an end somewhere!
