Fighting famine
 
This was just brought to my attention:
http://www.freerice.com

For each right answer a sponsor donates 20 grains of rice to people in need.:up:


Besides those of us whose first language isn't English can learn a thing or two.:D

That applies to us native English-speakers as well. I wasn't familiar with half of those terms.

I haven't forced my brain through Latin in some time, cheers :D

It is a bit sad that only so few people have had a look at this thread. I don't think we could have changed much with that site but at least a bit....

Maybe I should repost it with a more eye-catching title....:-?

Don't worry I wasn't even familiar with the terms of most of the provided answers .:rotfl:

Might be people are getting tired of being beaten by causes for this and that and titles such as this deflect away.

Cool idea. Thanks for the heads up. :up:

I feared that would happen. I should have used a better title.:-?:roll:

I stopped at 1000. I didn't know I was so good at guessing meanings.

Well that passed a bit of time, 4780 rice grains, probab;y causing obesity in the 3rd world:D

Thanks for that
