Want to save the world? Sure, we all do. But we can't do it wearing our underwear on the outside or wearing our mother's drapes for a cape flying around with super-human strength. However you CAN feed hungry people around the world wearing your ridiculous outfit and learn something in the process!

FreeRice.com is a site where you complete multiple choice questions of the vocabulary variety. For each correct word the site donates 10 grains of rice. That's for ever 5 correct words they donate 50 grains of rice.

This is amazing fun actually, you wouldn't believe that learning could be so inspiring. Every three correct words the level of the vocabulary increases. Level 50 is the highest level to be reached and so far no one has reached that level. I personally have never made it past 48 and I cheat with my microsoft word dictionary. Tell me that's not challenging, eh?

Who knew saving the world could be so easy?

Sorry, super-human strength doesn't come included, but your brian might just get a little bigger.
