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?
Don't cop out and "google" the answer
And, if you know the answer already, or figure it out, don't post it here and ruin it for the rest. Just ponder it on your own, and maybe pass it on.

You didn't have to admit that -- we wouldn't have guessed...

Don't tell anyone, but I'm one of the 20%. I had to google it.

As usual, I've over analized it and didn't get it. Google told me too.

Same search I did on Google, (that gave me the answer, did not work at Teoma, instead it gave me this,
"The following word or words are very common and were not included in your search: it can be My the by and if I could But in how you for
To include common words, add a "+" sign in front of each word you want included."

What's so special about teoma? One has to pay to get their sites included--nothing special about that.

don't know nothing about having to pay to get listed but I do like their search results. I searched teoma and found tons of info on the answer to the riddle.
I'm not dogging Google, just like to see people using the competition.
Speaking of... so far this TV season I have heard the phrase "I Googled..." at least twice already.

I'm always so late...I knew it too, without Googling, but it took me a couple of minutes.

Teoma is a paid inclusion SE. It seems they may do spidering or use another engine to pool together search results, but just try to submit your site. Yah gotta pay. With that, it's not like google thought perhaps the results may be good too.

I had not realized Teoma was strictly PFI. That's interesting.
