Free rice

December 21, 2007

A while back, somebody pointed me at Free Rice, which is a website created by the people who created The Hunger Site. The idea is this: every time you guess the correct meaning of a word, the Free Rice site donates 20 grains of rice through the United Nations. This allows you to simultaneously achieve two worthwhile goals: feed the hungry, and waste productive time at work.

And, totally unrelated to the above: Joe Posnanski is rapidly becoming my favourite Internet baseball writer.
