That IS addicting!
Doesn't take long to donate a few thousand grains either!



I wonder how many grains of rice in a kilo of rice?

That's such a great idea....I'm forwarding this onto as many people as I can.

Thanks Ecosse!

Very interesting concept. I wondered; a) is it for real, sceptic that I am ;), b) how is it funded?

Thanks Bob. My sister turned me onto it about a year ago, she's pretty good about not forwarding trash so I never bothered to investigate (yeah lazy), did it a bunch of times then forgot about it. I have a short attention span.

Anyway, I came across it in my file, checked it out, and thought some here might dig it.
