Paul Harvey RIDDLE
I got this riddle attached to an email from a friend. The answer came very easy to me so I decided to search the net and see if the statement about the kindergarten children was true. Needless to say it is false, but the riddle is still cool nonetheless.
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?
So do you know the answer? No cheating, no looking it up on the net. Place your answers in the comment section and I'll reveal the true answer in a few days.
According to Truth or Fiction.com:
A simple riddle with a simple answer that was allegedly reported on Paul Harvey...and that Kindergartners answered more correctly than university seniors.The Truth
The riddle has been around for a long time, but there is no evidence that research was ever conducted on the comparative answers of Kindergartners and Stanford University seniors.There is also no evidence that this was reported on Paul Harvey.

I'm not going to answer this and spoil your fun.I do know the answer.Having attended church quite often as a child I knew the answer with reference to God and Satan.Although,I won't claim to being poor we were not very well off in my early childhood.I've never been close to being rich but I've seen many times how the other side lives.
I think this riddle should remind all of us just how well off we really are.I thank God every day for all of the riches I do have.My family,my country,my friends,my freedom,my health,etc..
