Does anyone know the answer?

My friend just sent me a note with this riddle:

What is greater than God, more evil than the devil. The poor have it, but the rich need it, and if you eat it, you die?

He said that 83% of kindergarteners in TN got it, and only 17% of Harvard studnets got it. And something about you get the answer if you snap your fingers.

Although this is probably bloody obvious, could someone help? :rolleyes:

"nothing"

[AllyGirlie]

Ah this one..I know the answer and it makes complete sense once you know it..

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

Ah!!! I feel stupid now. I don't know how many times I sat in the car snapping my fingers going "Nothing's happening!". Yep, I knew it would be obvious.

THANKS!!! :goodvibes
