Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I have a new internet game addiction and it has the quirky benefit of being somewhat food related. You see, I've always been a sucker for words (it's part of why I like this whole writing thing) and when a friend sent me a link to Free Rice a couple of weeks ago, I thought to myself, "gee, that sounds sort of cool." I navigated over and started to play and loved the fact that it pushed my brain a little while also giving me the opportunity to donate rice to the United Nations in order to help end world hunger. I realize that it sounds sort of crazy to think that playing a vocabulary game on the internet could do anything to help stop hunger, but they make money through advertising revenue and so the longer you are on their page and reloading the site as you play, the more dough they make off their ads. So go challenge your brain and donate some rice to the UN.

Neat: Dorky word for "cool" or "interesting."

You get to think hard and do good all in the comfort of your own computer nook. I plan to treat myself to an uncommonly sumptious rice dinner if I ever get past the vocabulary level of 46 where I keep getting stuck. Meanwhile I bless this site's efforts to get lots of rice to those who truly need it.This is an addictive page for both your brain and your world consciousness about hunger.
