If you are a real vocabulary nerd

Play Free Rice.

Yes, it donates rice to starving people. (No, Juergen I did NOT do 45 minutes of exhaustive searching to make sure this is a charity our family can support.) It is through the United Nations World Food Programme (http://www.wfp.org/english/?n=681), though, so *I'm* pretty comfortable with it.

But it is the coolest, most complex vocabulary quiz EVAR on the net. Have fun.

I have seen it in many places. "The Fable of the Caliph and the Chessboard" is a typical name, but there are many others.
