Who Am I?

i'm not a genius, but X is nothing. besides, i've already seen one of the clues, if you eat it you die, in another riddle. but at least i'm honest. :wink:

haha - keep the honesty comin, yitwail.
You know, I've heard this riddle before, and was fascinated to hear that it is gotten by, if I remember correctly, 85 percent of all kindergarteners and only like 10 percent of all graduating high school seniors. I guess we're programmed to look too deeply into any situation.

I heard it like this:

"What is greater than God, more evil than the Devil, the rich need it, the poor have it, and if you eat it, you will die."

"the rich need it"

Hmmm... in Ireland (where I live) I always heard it as "the happy need it" - shows a difference in cultures, doesn't it?

Yeah well, here in America, money = happiness. Materialism rules...

So you are discussing about nothing?

The answer is "nothing."

The poor have it and don't want it, the rich need it and don't know it.

That's an old, old proverb in English.
