call out to all word warriors

Via the excellent Shifted Librarian: feed the hungry (via the U.N.) by playing this simple (and fun!) online vocabulary game - there are NO strings attached:
Almost 5 trillion grains of rice have been donated in the month and a half since this was launched. I got up to 850 grains myself (and vocab level 42) in only a few minutes time.

If you go to the Totals page and click the link from there, you can see that the U.S. is almost dead last (ahead of only Greece of the 23 countries listed) in the percentage of our income that is donated as international aid. We are a truly greedy, sad excuse for a nation...

Go do your part, my fellow word warriors and join the fray...

Well it stinks ..... but although Canada scored better (I'm not proud) .... Canada & the U.S. both stink. We could both do so much better than we're doing.
