500 ECs winner & rice for the hungry

Posted by A. Caleb Hartley on March 10th, 2008 filed in contest, hunger, vocabulary

First:  the results of the comment contest - in the following list are all the commenters who beat the 2359e deadline to win 500 entrecard credits.

  1. Emmett Jones
  2. Josh Spoehr
  3. Deimos Tel’Arin
  4. Wilson
  5. Nicole
  6. Debt Free Revolution
  7. Marcus Hochstadt
  8. Wangbu
  9. Judi
  10. Apollo
  11. fragileheart
  12. Monique

 I used www.random.org to randomize the list, and Emmett Jones from Sports Business Digest came out on top. I will transfer the 500 ECs to Mr. Jones tootsweet.  Additionally, everyone who commented gets a little link-love from environmentastic! - even prabhjeet and Melissa Donovan, who missed the deadline for the 500 ECs get the link love - because I’m a big softie.  ;)

On another note, I’d like to point out that I scored an A- on the vocabulary quiz, below.  Test yourself, and if you are unsatisfied with your score, head over to www.freerice.com to improve your vocabularical knowledge while providing rice to the hungry at the same time.  It’s a win-win scenario - hungry people around the world get free rice through the United Nations and you get to improve your vocabulary. What a deal!


Your Vocabulary Score: A-


Congratulations on your multifarious vocabulary!You must be quite an erudite person.

How’s Your Vocabulary?

Namaste,

A. Caleb Hartley

Next, we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming. Thanks for playing!

    Thanks for the link Mr. Hartley. It’s very generous of you to give away 500 EC credits! I’m sorry I missed that deadline.

    Shucks, I only scored a B on the vocabulary test. I am not too upset about this as English is my second language. I guess I will just have to read a bit more. I will be back there another day to get the A. Thanks for the link, the test was very entertaining.

    Oooooh - love your blog! Dinner last night was terrific. I’m a convert!

    When I noticed this on your page, I had to send you two links. One about mushrooms and how miraculous they are:
