Free Rice

[seorgia]

So Matt my housemate found this kick ass site which has a fun game that also helps other people. Basically you go there and try to match a word to the word's meaning. All very simple and the words get HARD. Great for vocab geeks like me who love new and interesting words. Anyhow for every word you get right they donate 10 grains of rice. I know it doesn't sound like much but they've donated over 50 METRIC TONS so far. How cool is that?

So if you have some free time and are a bit bored go try out this new games. The world thanks you.

So ridiculously addictive... and I can justify playing it for longer because it's "helping" people.

They cheat and use foreign words, use roots of words that don't exactly mean the same, and "words" like "grok" which has meaning only to SF fans. In other words, I really liked it.

Have you looked at the Totals page?

It's pretty cool to watch the numbers grow as word spreads about the site.

Yeah that's where I got my totals from.
