10. Here is a wonderful way to help feed poor people and increase your vocabulary! I checked this out on snopes.com for validity, and this is REAL! When you go to this web site and play the vocabulary game, you earn grains of rice, which are paid for by the advertisers on this site. When there is enough rice, it is shipped to places where people are in need. I stopped at 100,000 grains of rice--that's a lot of rice indeed.
