I got no idea how this shit works but it seems to be for a good cause and a bunch of writers would probably bring the total up so here it is:

Excellent stuff, Godhand. I don't really give a damn about the rice, but learning words I didn't know before is always good. Yeah, I'm a selfish bastard.

I think somebody mentioned this once before (Moonlit Raven?). The system seems to be flawed, at least for me, since when you miss a word, it gives you that same word three attempts later or so. Also, somehow I don't think anybody is getting the rice.

Well, not everyone is getting the rice. Just the selected few who happen to be within reach of the WFP volunteers.

Getting the food out there is one thing. Making sure the food reaches the people most needed is another. And it won't happen while there are military juntas all over the place.

I had a conversation with Manda where I said I thought it was too easy too, but apparently it's the real deal.

And I still don't give a damn. Man, I'm going to hell.
Anyways, I did this for about five minutes or so and got up to a thousand grains of rice. What 'bout everybody else?

Hey, give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he'll never starve again. We don't want to spoil the hungry. These people should try catching more fish.

Cannibalism works too.
Too many damned people in this world anyways.

Meh. I got bored after 4000 grains of rice and a Score level of 41. Lol.

Fun time waster though.

Good find, Godhand.

I donated a lot of rice while ignoring my Con Law professor. Still got an A too... makes you wonder why you should even show.

Got to two thousand before I had to settle upon mediocrity. Reached level 39, but even though I was getting some correct, my level continued to decline because I had the nerve to take too long before getting som right.

Still pretty neat.
