Title: Free Rice - donate rice and test your brain
Post by: Rico on February 08, 2008, 09:05:03 AM
This is a very cool site.  You can test your vocabulary skills out and also get free rice donated through the United Nations.  Very fun and good for the world too!  Check it out!

Yeah I did that a few times in school before. The most I got to was 2,000 something grains. But ya know what sucks about it? 1,000 grains is only enough to feed like one person, so you have to do it a long time if you really wanna help them out.

Look at the totals on the page.  They have donated billions of grains of rice so far.  Pretty impressive.
