// @author         Nick McClendon [nickmcclendon@gmail.com]
// @description    This is the *best* auto-FreeRice script: it tricks the site into giving you the same word each time while removing the "too many requests" error; the result is a very fast and very efficient script for methodically ending world hunger.
