Free Rice

Just my little advertising gimic to throw in here.. but this website is basically a game, where it gives you a word.. and 4 options for the definition. For every word you get RIGHT they donate 20grains of rice. There is 48 grains of rice in one Gram, and it take 400 grams of rice to feed one person for one day. So every little bit helps. Their first 5 months in business they got enough rice to feed over a million people.
So basically they're trying to build up our vocabulary, while trying to stop world hunger! It can be fun, so trrryy it out.
Help end world hunger

Speaking of educating the free world.. here's a random interesting tidbit for you:
Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
