So, I was sitting at my computer, doing my part to further Global Warming, and I receive an IM from my good friend Ethan Sales. The contents of said instant message was that of a single Url:freerice.com Now, Ethan, to me, comes off as the kind of person who has to be better than everyone else, so I interpreted the invitation as a chance to prove my superiority over him. (By the way, if you want to view his not-as-good blog, it can be found here)
My initial reaction to the website was that it was bogus. Just another ploy by the "No Child Left Behind" so that American can gain integrity against the likes of Japan, China, and India by satisfying the general population's conscious while they are subliminally being supplied greater knowledge.
Though, upon further investigation I disregarded any and all speculation, on account of the fact that this website is just plain fun. I once again fell in to preadolescence, as I felt a need, much like my Poke'mon days, to gain a greater level, and become the greatest trainer of all time. It was my personal goal to have a level 99 vocabulary level. I celebrated when my level increased, scowled when I was docked. My thoughts were no where near the little bloated African boy who was benefiting from my knowledge.
I encourage you, go now and see for yourself.
