Freerice?

Okay, so i know this site's been out there for ages cause i messed with it a long time ago, then saw it a few months back on EqD when they were plugging pony groups. I was messing around on there and i thought about the potential of a Filly group, and just wanted to gauge interest.

For any/all who don't know or haven't heard of it, http://www.freerice.com is more or less a trivia site associated with the World Food Programme. Every trivia question you get right donates 10 grains of rice, which are paid for through ad space sold on the site. It's a fantastic way to give for those who are either in a position where they can't afford to donate money, or for those who do and wanna do a little more. There's a ton of different subjects from languages to identifying countries, to world flags and fine art. It could be fun to make a group for us on there, and we could have a friendly little competition to see who can donate the most each month. Granted, it takes a -lot- of grains of rice to feed a person for a day, but it's free and it makes a difference all the same.

I figure a big part of ponies in general is being friendly and helping others, and just trying to do good and be good. This'd be a pretty cool chance to do that together. Any thoughts/feedback are welcome, if there's no interest that's totally okay too, i'll just keep amusing myself with it in my spare time xP

Already got 810 grains in vocabulary. Not bad for three minutes time.

Edit: Did some math, it takes 19,200 grains to feed a person for a day to give them two meals using the numbers given by the site. I've got a long way to go, but I'll get there...eventually. :flutteryay:

Cool link Sunset, I remember doing this like...three years ago, and then changed computers and lost the bookmark. It's neat to see it's still around.
