You expect us to get it when only 17% of Stanford University Seniors did?!

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?

Yes, considering I'm dieting, it's very much a biased opinion.

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 ;)

actually, another word for 'eat' is consume. If you are consumed by hunger, you die.

Twisted Cairnsy logic ^_^

No, it's not hunger. Hunger is supposed to be greater than God? And rich people need it? I don't think so! hehehe

Keep going! ^_~

*growls*

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

Mushrooms greater than God? Earth more evil than the devil? Hmm? hehehehe

Don't give up! :-P

And kudos to kat for thinking that fertilizer is more evil than the devil! LOL

ICE CREAM!!!

Far greater than God.

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?
