Free Rice - Play and Feed the Hungry

FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com.

FreeRice has two goals:

- Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.

- Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

For each word that you get right in this vocabulary game, they'll donate 20 grains of rice through the United Nations to help end world hunger.

What IS It???

I don't even know what this thing is, other than a really feeble attempt at Halloween humor. It was in with the Halloween mugs, but somehow, I doubt that anyone would want to drink out of this, unless they wanted to put an eye out in the process.

I Know It's a Bit Early for Christmas, But...

You know you really want one of these!!!

The "Veggie Tales" Nativity Set. A bunch of vegetables in a manger, gourds popping out of cows, three wise veggies and pea sheep - what more could you want? I don't know, but Baby Jesus as a vegetable, let alone a carrot just seems wrong on some level.

It even includes Laura Angel watching over everyone, and Junior Asparagus singing "Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem". I'll bet that sure gets annoying after a while!

Now I Really HAVE Seen Everything!

Answer Me Jesus - For those times when a plain, old Magic 8-Ball just won't cut it.

Personally, I'd love to hear what Jesus has to say about the person who decided he'd look great in hot pink.

Holy Praying Bunnies, Batman!

It's Prayer Rabbit, safe from the dangers of the Briar Patch!!!

A lingerie-wearing Easter bunny, with an added bonus - she PRAYS!!!

Of course, I couldn't resist the summons to "Try Me!", which was boldly emblazoned in red on her left hand, like some kind of backwards stigmata. I wasn't quite prepared for what happened next. Oh, I expected her to pray, like it said on the box. But, what I wasn't expecting was for her cheeks to light up with two bright red lights, like some bizarre Easter version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. "Rosie the Red-Cheeked Rabbit", maybe?

As for praying, no, she doesn't say anything like "Please God, get me out of this stupid outfit before I barf", which is what I would be saying if I were in her shoes. Oh wait, she's not wearing any. No, instead she launches into a long version of "Now I lay me down to sleep..."

No offense to the makers of this little gem, but wouldn't it make a bit more sense to dress her up in something a bit more, ummm... modest? Something which doesn't leave her entire nether regions exposed for all to see, like a born-again Victoria's Secret model?

Someone Please Explain This to Me...

Santa HatSale! Only 99¢

Why on earth would anyone want to buy a Santa Hat for their cell phone??? I've seen some pretty bizarre holiday items in my travels, but this one's a first for me!
