When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got
the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.
What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
And if you eat it, you'll die? |

Nothing.
Does that mean i have the brain of a preschool kid?
used to love these riddles when i was younger, like:
"what gets bigger, the more you take away?"
Now i find them annoying. |

I'm suprised they actually got an answer out of small children, I would of thought they'd of lost interest after the second sentence and either started mimicing (spelling?) you, started looking round into space, or just ran off. |
