...why do the tribes have to justify anything? Reservations are sovereign territory.
Hmph.
More on that another day.
Meanwhile, I've found a nifty site called FreeRice. Supposedly, they use ad revenue from the site to donate rice to poor areas across the world.
When you arrive at the site, you are greeted with a multiple choice vocabulary question like "ingredient means _____" and you click on the appropriate synonym. Each time you do, the page refreshes, and the ads reload, thus generating more ad revenue for the site.
They present this visually, by the way, showing a bowl filling with 10 grains of rice for each word you get correct.
For each three words you get right, you advance a level (from 1 to 50). The highest I've made it to so far is 45.
Even if the site doesn't donate the money as it says, the vocabulary game is fun.
Also?
Every time I've played I've been given the word "effulgent" (it's the only word I've gotten more than once). The only reason I actually know the word is from Buffy. Heh.
In other news, the wayward cat has been found. She is the least intelligent of all of them, including Jaime, who we think has brain damage from his traumatic infancy, and apparently didn't notice she was lost all by herself in the garage for nearly 24 hours.
Either that, or she couldn't find her way back to the door.
