I’ve been immersing myself in my feedreader this evening and it it now past 1am so I have little to say. Or little time to say it. Take your pick. If you don’t know what to do with your time because of my self-indulgence, go and buy rice with the most priceless commodity on earth: Words.
I have bought hundreds and hundreds of grains of rice. Seriously… hundreds and hundreds! I got up to vocabulary level 48 but upon reading that there are only 50 levels and that hardly anyone gets past 48 I am determined to do better. Pride in abnormality, that’s my motto. Oh, and I get to feed people at the same time as I defend my ego.
That’s TERRIBLE! So addictive! I’ve been going up and down between 49 and 41 and now I’ve run out of time. You think you’re feeding the world, and then you realise it’s only a grain at a time. But if enough of us do it, or do it often enough… I’ll have to come back another day. Race you to 50?
lol….I LOVE that site too. I do it to feed someone and I really want confirmation that people do actually receive the rice that I prostituted my understanding of words for.
Megan, read this article about John Breen’s previous site, hungersite.com. The United Nations’ World Food Program confirmed that they were receiving donations. I assume this is the case with the new one, but I wasn’t able to find any solid information when I did a search last night. It seems likely to me that there is a bit of skimming off the top but as it’s not me that paying him and sponsor’s money is getting to the UN, I’m not too uncomfortable with that. Besides, I like doing silly online tests.
Rosemary – I’ll see you at the finish line!
50!!!!! *Wild dancing and whooping*
Damn the days for being so short. She beat me to it! Cut off her head…
