    freerice.com

    Has anyone done this? It's pretty neat in that every vocab word you get correct the UN donates 20 grains of rice. It's a good way to procrastinate lol.

      I donated 1,000 so far, but I'll keep a tab on it and just keep donating through the night.

        Up to 2000 grains of rice....pretty surprised by how many I actually know....Some are guesses, but educated guesses based on prefixes and suffixes...

          I'm confused. I'm at 7,460 grains. How does this end?

              Now the UN will surely find a way to misuse the money and it will end up not going to those poor Africans. Does the "Oil for Food" scandal ring any bells?

                See, I don't get this. Either donate the money or not. Why should we have to answer trivia questions correctly for them to donate. The fate of the eastern world now depends on Americans trivia ability. Nice!

                  Right I want to see some video of the people getting the rice I donated.

                  The website is making money off the ads, probably a lot more than they donate.

                    Do they have someone count the grains of rice?

                    Anyway, a couple months back my english class spent a whole day doing this (my teacher is a very giving guy, does hospice)

                      I got bored at 100 grains. Should I feel bad about that?

                            Is there any way for me to answer the questions correctly without actually donating any rice?

                              I suppose you could open a dictionary and guess the definition of a bunch of random words you philistine.
