Free Rice: Pet your ego by testing your vocabulary and feeding rice to the starving.

Yes, I know you only get 10 grains of rice per word, but it's not hard to fill up a bowl, given how nerdy I know all of you are.

I was surprised at how well I remembered the Latin roots of all the medical/scientific terms. 500 grains! Huzzah!

That's a fun time-waster, and certainly a worthy cause.

One bowl? Are you kidding? I've been working on this for several weeks now, and I CANNOT close the tab. I swear there's crack in it.

I played for about 30 minutes and gave about 3000 grains--that's like 100 grains a minute!

But yeah, there's definitely crack in there. What's everyone's vocabulary level (in the interest of pointless comparison)

I filled a bowl and 1/4 before I started falling asleep. Good link!
