and some supplements:

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

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul Harvey RIDDLE:

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?

Send this to 10 people and then press shift and you will get the answer.

P.S. You won't believe this, but this really does give you the answer!!!!

(Comment on above chain letter by webmaster Jeff Richards: For those of you who must know the answer to the above it is NOTHING. NOTHING is greater than God, Nothing is more evil than the devil, Nothing is what the poor have, Nothing is what the rich need, and if you eat Nothing you will die. One of my readers rightfully pointed out that if you follow the instructions "Send this to 10 people and then press shift and you will get the answer.", then the result will be NOTHING will happen. Which of course, is the answer to the riddle.)
