dunno..maybe this is a famous riddle, and you'll post the correct answer in seconds, but i hadnt heard it before...and i didnt get it right!!-here goes..
(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'

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."
The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.
In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

HERE'S MY RIDDLE:
A son and his father are out on a Sunday drive. Suddenly, their car is struck by a drunk driver. The father dies on impact, and the son is severely injured. The son is raced to the hospital to have surgery done. When he arrives at the hospital, the chief nuerosurgeon comes and immediately exclaims "Oh my god! I can't operate on my own son!"
-How is this possible?

Iron, you're a genius!!! For that other riddle, could it be that the father who died was actually a drunk driver who was the father of the other person in a car where the son transported to the hospital was? Whoey, this is complicated

the answer to my riddle, since no one got it :D
"A son and his father are out on a Sunday drive. Suddenly, their car is struck by a drunk driver. The father dies on impact, and the son is severely injured. The son is raced to the hospital to have surgery done. When he arrives at the hospital, the chief nuerosurgeon comes and immediately exclaims 'Oh my god! I can't operate on my own son!'"
really quite simple, the nuerosurgeon was THE SON'S MOM.
haha, not many people get this; actually it's more a psychological problem too because it deals with stereotype biases. when i said "chief nuerosurgeon" you, most likely, instantly thought of a man having this job, any doctor comes to mind as a male first. women aren't associated with this hence the stereotype bias.
cool eh?
