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'

as i say, it may be a famous one so pls dont slate me- i
dunno..

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?

exact weight" on the paper.

OK How about one more???

I cannot be felt, seen or touched;
Yet I can be found in everybody;
My existence is always in debate;
Yet I have my own style of music.
What Am I?

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?
