A Riddle worth thinking about
 
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?

(When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.)

I know Tink but only because I have heard it before. :)

Taurus Babe 04-22-2008 07:36 PM

OKay tell us the answer!!!!! I'm so bad at waiting!!!

DianaB 04-22-2008 08:10 PM

I know the answer too but I'm sure that there are others who haven't heard it before.

Tink 04-22-2008 08:26 PM

The answer is nothing.
Nothing is greater than God.
Nothing is More evil than the devil,
The poor have nothing,
The rich need nothing
And if you eat nothing, you'll die.

Oh wow. So true. That's a good one...

Okay, so I'm not as smart as a kindergardener. I wasn't as smart as a fifth grader either!

The blonder I get.......

Janet 04-23-2008 06:43 AM

Judy!!!....LOL You are so funny. I heard this before so knew the answer, but a year or so ago when I read it the first time...I had no clue.

How many got it the very first time they read it???

DianaB 04-23-2008 08:42 AM

I don't think that I figured it out last time. I was given the answer. I even had my husband helping me to figure out the answer and we still couldn't get it.

I may be bad at the color quiz, but I got this one.:cheer:
(My Doctor shared it with me a while back):rolleyes:

teri88 04-23-2008 09:11 AM

I'm so stupid that I read it and thought to myself "what the heck could the answer be? Nothing is greater than God...":rolleyes:

Gina 04-23-2008 04:23 PM

Tink I only knew the answer because I heard it before. First time I didn't have a clue....

Don't feel bad - I thought the same thing the first time I heard it.

Tink 04-24-2008 05:27 PM

Teri, you were right... you just didn't know it. lol

Marilyn 04-24-2008 08:14 PM

Now I'm really worried. I've heard it before, but I couldn't remember the answer. Isn't that sad!!!!:(
