Free Rice

The other day while listening to NPR I heard about a neat website. It is at http://www.freerice.com/. It was created by a father who wanted to help his son study vocabulary for the SAT and who happens to be the creator of another website http://www.poverty.com/. It is now part of my daily routine. For every vocabulary word you get correct, 20 grains of rice are donated to the United Nations World Food program, paid for by the advertisers on the site.

Some of the words are doozies. Did you know that pharisaic means self-righteous?
