Instead of Buying Gap Gear, Improve Your Vocab for Charity

An ad-supported page called Free Rice, sent to us by Jamie from Virginia Tech, improves your vocabulary and donates 10 grains of rice to the hungry at the same time. Free Rice is the sister site of Poverty.

So far Adrants has managed to get 30 grains of rice donated. We would’ve had more by now, but who would have guessed “hardtack” meant “biscuit” and not “thug”? Come on.

And we’re not even going to try guessing for “collywobbles.”
