HERE's a great game for you:

Every time you choose the correct meaning for a word, they donate 10 grains of rice to help end world hunger - paid for by site advertising. Gives you the correct answer for ones you miss, so it helps build your vocabulary. Tells you your "vocab level" up to 50 points - see if you can beat my 49. ;)
*edit* Scratch that, I hit 50.

Nope, just broke 40. Missed "fusty" (should have gone with my gut) and between that and the cat in my face, I never recovered.
It was strange how many words they used that have I learned from Warhammer. I mean how many people know what a "howdah" is. And isn't that Arabic or African anyway.
Also strange was how many medieval words that came up. Doug was telling me the other day he signed up for a word of the day e-mail and was some what let downl;.ss as 80% of the words were medieval and he knew them. I may take another shot at it later.
Oh and the l;.ss is kitty typing. I hate cats.
