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.)

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

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???

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.

Marilyn, maybe like my husband keeps telling me when I forget things... "You need to install some more RAM in that brain of yours... It's obviously full up." :p
