Free Rice

Have you tried Free Rice? It's a vocab quiz (multiple choice) and for each one you get correct, the organization donates 10 grains of rice, all paid for by the advertisers. It's totally addicting - so don't play unless you have a few minutes to spare. I donated 1500 grains of rice this morning.
I also learned what a petcock is.

I'm addicted

Oh god. I just started playing. Totally addictive. Not just the rice (which is cool, and I love that there is a visual), but the level. I get so bummed when I go down, and psyched when I get to go up! Especially excited when I get an "Oh! That's easy, I know that!!!" one.

Must go play MORE!

P.S. Just hit 45! Woo-hoo!

_I_ successfully guessed what a lobscouse is. This is a hard game. I love it.

(I will also now stop leaving you comments while I play.)

(But thanks - I think - for the recommendation!)
