A Waste of Time That's Not a Waste

Addiction to Pinterest is so yesterday. I've found a new cyber-drug that's not only alluring but worthwhile as well. Check out this super-de-dooper, highly intoxicating word fun website:

Free Rice

What It Is
It's a vocabulary test, basically. Yeah, that doesn't sound like a whole lot of wingding bells and whistles, but you'll have to trust me on this. The higher you go, the more challenging it becomes. I can't seem to get past level 40 unless I cheat. And don't bother coming after me with pitchforks, because--for the record--I did NOT cheat (which is why I haven't yet made it to level 60).

Why It's Not A Waste of Time
As you play, you feed hungry people. For each of your answers, kernels of rice are donated to fight world hunger.

As I said, check it out. It really is super fun and a great cause.
