Here is a riddle for ya!
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?

It took me awhile to figure this one out but it made sense after I did.

When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.

I mean, I AM a genius, right?

...sorry beautifulbrunette...it's been around for a few years

but nice try.

How about this one for you?

What has four legs in the morning, two legs during the day, and three at night?

(also a relatively old one)

Very good!

the morning/day/night is analogous to the lifetime of a man.

morning - 4 legs - baby crawling
afternoon - 2 legs - adult walking
night - 3 legs - old man with cane.
