    I figured I might drive everyone crazy like the last one by fadeaway and see if anyone can get this one...this might be a little easier though. I actually do know the answer, and if nobody guesses it I'll post it in a day or two. Here it is...

    What is more powerful than God, more evil than the devil; The poor have it, the rich need it; If you eat it, you'll die;
    What is it?


    If you've heard it before please don't answer it right away. [​IMG]

    Ok, I edited my post DieHard... but I can't lie, I already knew the answer. But if it helps, I did get it right the first time I heard it... [​IMG]

    Thanks D. of Dunk....but I have a feeling this one isn't going to be hard for most people, but it might stump a few.

    That one is pretty easy.
    Is this the riddle where a university did a survey and more kindergarten kids got it right than college students?

    Wow...I didn't know that many people had heard this one before, but I guess they have. It took me a few minutes to figure it out the first time, but I've told it to others that couldn't get it. Maybe that just means that this board is extra smart [​IMG].

    Yes, the answer is "nothing" for the few of you who didn't get it.

    I remember the riddle by fadeaway... that was frustrating, everyone had answers that sounded right, but apparently weren't. Did he ever find the right answer and post it? I stopped looking after a while.

    Yep, I discovered the solution just the other day.

    I was disappointed -- it was a pretty dumb answer.

    Anyway, <A HREF="http://bbs.clutchcity.net/ubb/Forum7/HTML/001421.html">here it is.</a>

    I was really disappointed by the answer to fadeaway's riddle. A lot of the alternatives that were posted seemed like a better fit.
