Lul, freerice.

[Akiha]

My Literature teacher told out class about this yesterday, and I hopped on the site in class today, and am currently on the site in another tab as I'm typing this.

http://freerice.com/index.php

Basically, it's a website that donates rice to the hungry, just by you learning vocabulary. It's a "pick A, B, C, or D" question, and every one you get right, the site donates 20 grains of rice to the hungry. I've been hooked for the past few hours, in all honesty.

Learning vocabulary and feeding the hungry. Two birds in one stone, I say.

Questions (most that I had concerning on "How the feck do you pay for the rice?!") are found here:

Oh, as of now, I've donated 1340 grains. There's an option to keep track of the total you've donated, which I set mine on, in the Options section at the top.

Hmm. My World Geography teacher told me about this.

If I get questions wrong will they take rice away from the hungry? lul

[Akiha]

No. If you get one wrong, they don't take anything away. You just try the next one. :3


Edit//

V Oh. Well, once of the students in my class asked that, so I thought you were serious. :lol

[.Rik-uh-shey]

It wasn't a serious question, but thanks =P.

Taking it now.

[Yamamoto]

[Icestorm]

@Ciel: Ah.. well *shrugs* I was the dux for lit at my school lol.

[Prince Noctis]

lol, after reading The Ring of McAllister, some of these words are quite easy.

[Yamamoto]

Ice: wow Ice :o

that's real good :D

I actually know most of the words from games haha

[Akiha]

Rofl, I know a few from Literature class, reading, and videogames myself, but, alas, I am learning more than knowing. u.u

But it feels nice to have donated 8440 grains of rice so far.

[SunnyPie♥]

Is 1000 grains a pound?
because when I resched it a big bunch of rice appeared xD

[Akiha]

No, since 7,200 grains of rice are in a cup. >.>

So that means even with my 9540 grains, I only have about 1 and 1/3 of a cup donated.
