Date: 2001-03-18 05:40 pm (UTC)Found the page it was on, by the way ^^. However, didn't scroll down for the answer, that would be too easy.
I'm going to spend all day trying to find out (in vain) what the answer to this is ...
Hunger?
Date: 2001-03-18 05:46 pm (UTC)Greater than God, because we all need to eat.
More evil than the Devil, because it's horrible and many people die of it.
Rich people need it, because you need to be 'hungry' for success to achieve it.
Poor people have it, because they can't afford good food.
And if you eat it, you die ... heh, can you eat hunger?
More wild guesses to come ;)

Re: Hunger?
Date: 2001-03-18 06:15 pm (UTC)And rich people need 'hunger' to succeed, not actual want of food :)
Um, let's see.
Mushrooms? They kill you if you eat them ...
Love? Greater than God, but you can't eat it ...
The Earth? Rich people want it, not need it, though ...
hehehe
Date: 2001-03-18 06:23 pm (UTC)Don't give up! :-P
And kudos to kat for thinking that fertilizer is more evil than the devil! LOL
ICE CREAM!!!
Date: 2001-03-18 07:48 pm (UTC)Much more eviler than the devil - it sucks you in, you eat it, then feel guilty about it for months.
Rich people need it ... but can't have it because they'll get fat, and how many size 16 rich people do you know?
Poor people have it ... because they don't need to diet for soaps or TV commercials.
If you eat it, you die ... of guilt.
I'm brilliant.
Eh, yes?

Date: 2001-03-19 04:46 am (UTC)Can I help it if my superior intelligence meant I could easily find the answer online?
Nyahahahaaa...
Date: 2001-03-19 05:41 am (UTC)*making sure to pick out a riddle next time that won't be on the internet. Or change the wording in a way that Google won't find it! :-P*
And the answer is...
Date: 2001-03-19 03:54 am (UTC)Rich people need NOTHING
Poor people have NOTHING
And if you eat NOTHING you die. ^_^
Hehehehehe.
cool!
Date: 2001-03-19 04:35 am (UTC)But I trust that you figured it out yourself. Hey, I did so, too! * beams*
