Build your vocabulary and feed the hungry

International riots over soaring food costs spurred President Bush to authorize $200 million in emergency aid today.  World Bank President Robert Zoellick says rice prices have risen globally by about 75% in just the past two months, "with more likely to come."  

So what's a well-nourished, cubicled American to do?
An ingenious website let's you feel like you're doing something while it helps you build your vocabulary.  For every word you get right, 20 grains of rice are donated through the UN World Food Program to end world hunger.  See if you can beat level 46!
