Free Rice

[artemis77]

Put your large vocabulary to good use on FreeRice.com. For every word you define correctly you earn 10 grains of rice to be given to the UN to help feed the hungry.

Man, I could spend hours doing this! I had to take a break at 1000 grains.

(The questions draw heavily on heraldry and armaments. All those Shakesperian metaphors really came in handy!)

I'm addicted to it, too! I earned 200 grains. My vocabulary is better than I thought (must be that dusty Latin in my brain).

One night I didn't stop until like some obscene number of grains. It gets out of hand! I played for a VERY long time.

3000 grains! Wow - you were at that for a while. :)

hee. did I manage to edit that before you replied? I had written 3000 but then I couldn't remember. I was playing for what seemed like forever, and I knew it was in the thousands, but I wasn't sure if I was over or underestimating, so I changed my comment to be more vague.

LOL... i was replying to an email notification - so it would have your pre-edited version.
