I'm not trying to horn in on Willard's territory, but I've got a riddle too.

The poor have me
The rich need me
I am more powerful than God
If you eat me, you die
What am I?

I'm not sure if line 3 is 100% correct, by which I mean the original riddle may have been worded slightly differently. This version still works, assuming the Judeo-Christian idea of God (or Islamic idea of God for that matter).

haha, sorry tis an old one, its nothing,
the way i heard it was,
scorned by the meek and humble-minded,
often by the vain possessed.
heard by the deaf,
seen by the blind.
I give the troubled spirit rest

Wow, that was fast. I guess it was an old one [img]smile.gif[/img]

I like your version felix, but the deaf and blind lines kind of give it away.

wasn't it in BG2? when you are getting out of the asylum...

FelixJaeger 09-09-2002 01:18 PM

Isnt it before the circus?
yeh thanks Lox it is a little bit obvious but the other version you said brings up the ultimate answer, nothing is greater than god...
nice to have you around its always nice to see a new face (okay you might not be new but i havent seen you around....)
