Saving the world through procrastination? Sounds like my kind of game.

Free RiceI found this linked off the BBC site, so I think we can assume it's fairly legit. It's actually a pretty entertaining vocabulary game-- those who have studied a foreign language will recognize it, only it's in English, not, say Japanese. (Thank god

Haha, seriously. I've gotten a few wrong just because I couldn't believe they were using the word I thought they were using, so it must be something else. But it wasn't! It was some totally fantasy/popular culture derived word.

Sadly, I am nowhere near level 50. I've been hovering at about 46, with occasional level 48s and once a 49. I only dream of level 50!

Oh man, yeah! I've been meaning to post about this too! I like to try and rank up about 2000 grains/day...I'm not sure of exactly how much that is, buuuuut I think that's like a bowl. I feel like I'm feeding at least once person per day! My score is decidedly less than either of yours...hovering around 42 or so.

Haha, you are generating a lot more rice than I am. So far today I've generated 1000? Maybe. But I've only been playing for a few days, and I expect my interest will fall off and I'll only be generating 200/300 a day or so.

wow, i could do that for hours.

I know! I like to do it during class because it's almost like paying attention in that it improves my mind but not in a way that will help me pass the bar.

I sent a reply to this earlier, but... apparently it didn't go through? Electronics hate me lately. Fer serious, I have broken, in the last two days, my desktop computer, my iPod and my printer. Sigh.

[shinymonkey]

word I would not have known if I wasn't a medical student: wheal

Heh, "cockloft."

See?! This is why I second guess myself about their word choices.
