Weekend Fluff: Free Rice

Go to http://www.freerice.com/

It's an addicting word game, and for every correct answer you donate 20 grains of rice through the UN to end world hunger.

Yeah, that's all warm and squishy, but really it's about the fun word game to kill time at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon. Forget about Sunday afternoons, this is the true "long dark teatime of the soul."

I peaked out at a score of 46. I'll come back on Tuesday and try again in case my brain just went home early today.

    I love that site! Its pretty neat how many words you can even guess from context and I think by now I've even actually learned a few that have repeated a couple times that I didn't know the first time round! :D Oh and very cool to donate food while learning!

All comments may be moderated. If you think you're entitled to free speech, you are, on your own blog. This is my blog. I have opinions that are often subjective, and as I'm not running a documentary or research organization, there's nothing wrong with a little subjectivity. I also have the right to not approve or delete comments I find mean-spirited, idiotic or encouraging what I consider objectional, dangerous, or plain stupid practices (such as weight loss or cosmetic surgery, changing your body to please others (i.e. "dieting"), spreading hate, etc.). If you voice disagreement with anything I say, and you do it in an intelligent matter with clear research citations to your claims and conclusions (popular media articles don't count) I will probably allow the comment. I will also probably debate you and try to refute your claims. If at any time that devolves into stupidity or attack, I will start deleting your comments. If you disagree with what I say by spouting pseudoscientific popular opinion, displaying prejudice or hate, or otherwise acting like an ass-hat, I will delete your comment. That's pretty much the policy, subject to change without notice :-)
