Found a new game on dubious quality (http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com/): Freerice (http://www.freerice.com/index.php)

From the freerice website:

"For each word you get right, we donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations to help end world hunger."

neat

just got up to word level 40 and 420 grains of rice in a few minutes. seems cool. Hopefully it's legit...i see things like this as a nice way to...be able to bring awareness of problems to people and harness the power of the internet and #'s to do good on a global level.

I average about 37 and donated 1000 grains the other night. My wife's addicted to it, too.

It's cool to see the running totals of donations and how they've grown dramatically.
