Everybody likes rice. Especially starving people.
FreeRice.com is an organization that makes you answer quiz questions regarding, well, all sorts of things, really. For every question you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice to the World Food Programme. I used to spend a lot of time doing it a while ago and then forgot about it until happy chance brought it back to my attention. And I think that might be true of a lot of people, so, with that in mind...
The PPC Rice Division is accepting applications.
Let's do some good. =]

Congratulations to everyone! I'd particularly like to thank Akrinor, one of the Board's newbies, for showing up and consistently contributing so much. We've done a lot of good already. Let's keep going. =]
-I suck at famous quotes.
-I suck at literature.
-I am kind of rubbish at World Landmarks, not getting much above level 3/10.
-I am worryingly good at the German I haven't studied since 2008 - I hit level 10/10 (briefly, but I did).
-Most alarmingly of all, I'm apparently really good at guessing the artists of famous paintings. As in, I've never seen the paintings before, but go 'oh, that looks like a Monet', or 'that looks English, must be Turner'. I think I got to halfway through the levels before it turned into 'I have no idea who any of those are'. (My favourite: 'that looks evil, must be- yep, it's Bosch'.)

I even made an account in... first year university, I believe. I still have it, and even remember the login, so... *dons the mantle of Brightshadow--name changes are apparently impossible--and prepares to duel play*

...it's that I've played before joining the group and haven't played yet since joining. It's a good reminder, though, especially for someone like me who's never been in a group on this site before.

No, I don't have a life, however did you guess?
In any event, we've done really well, and we're closing in rapidly on the 1kg mark. The more people join, the more mouths our tiny little community can feed. =]
