Feed the starving multitudes (while getting really, really smart)

http://www.freerice.com

wanna kill time while saving lives? 

Freerice is an incredible site that offers quiz in vocabulary, art history, math, geography, chemistry, and languages. For every right answer you get the site donates 10 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program (they use their advertising revenue to buy rice). 
Bookmark this site and get smart. 
Eventually you'll know that pombe is an east African beer, that Goya painted Saturn Eating His Son, that die flut is German for flood, that 12 x 9 = 108, that Belgrade is the capital of Serbia, that Pu is the symbol for Plutonium, and that the car MOVES fast......

oh yeah, and hemidemisemiquaver is a orchestral 64th note....

you will be smart and feed the world....

Beat my 7560 grains of rice I donated the other night when we got back from Boston....

you will be an addict before u know it
