Cool site. 

How big of a family does 220 grains of rice feed?

I question some of their definitions/answers, however. ::)

I got to 770 thinking there was an end to it..... apparently not so I stopped.  Time well spent though.

Even if you intentionally answer question after question wrong, it never tells you "perhaps you're too stupid for this site," though the words do become quite elementary.

Saw this tour live. Nobody really knew who they were at the time. They played with another little known band, ACDC...

Fun site, although I suspect that the alleged spelling nazi around here would have done reasonably well.

Seems some folks have posted some high scores [sm_whistle] Not that I'm pointing the figure at anyone in particular...... ;)

Fun!  A great way to generate ad revenue (hopefully for a good cause).  I hovered around level 40 vocab-wise - maybe I need to study up!

Decided to stop at 1000.

I seemed to hover between levels 43-46.  Got to 48 once, then cratered right back down.
