Ok, I swear I'll have a real post up here sometime soon, but for now I'm just going to plug FreeRice. It's a really simple concept: answer a multiple choice question correctly and they donate ten grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. I first came across it a couple years ago and quickly became obsessed. Back then it was a simple vocabulary test, and you moved up a level for every three you got right and down a level for every one you missed. Now in addition to English vocabulary, you can test yourself in English grammar, Italian, French, German, Spanish, pre-Algebra, multiplication, world capitals, geography, chemistry, and famous paintings.
So check it out. It's the perfect time-waster at work: addictive, fun, and educational. Plus, when your boss inevitably catches you playing it he can't get too mad: it's all to end world hunger.
