Sporcle – cool games that make learning fun again

via MakeUseOf.com by David Pierce on (don’t ask as I’ve had this for ages)

You've seen the “make your kids love learning!” toys before, right? Things like LeapFrog, and that computer game where you keep the spaceman alive by doing math problems… too fun. Once you hit about 9 years old, though, those games start to walk the fine line between fun and pathetic.
Thankfully, there's Sporcle – a site full of games that's the best way to learn cool things, and make it fun, for adults (or really anyone). Sporcle is a site of what it calls “mentally stimulating diversions”, and it's exactly that – games that are fun, exciting, and actually educational.

Read David’s full post and you’ll maybe think that the games are US-centric. Not so. It’s just that he is so finds listing the sovereigns of England a bit difficult (I assume since he can name all x American Presidents).

Addiction warning!!
