A Simple Riddle

The riddle has been around for a long time, and supposedly it has been reported that kindergarteners get it right more often than adults, but there is no evidence that research was ever conducted on the comparative answers of Kindergartners. In addition, there is no report ever done by Stanford University seniors, nor is there any evidence that this was reported on Paul Harvey.  Still, this is one of MY favorites..because in my own survey, almost EVERY adult could not answer it....interesting..  THE RIDDLE: What is greater than God,  More evil than the devil,  The poor have it,  The rich don't need it,  And if you eat it, you'll die?  The answer to the riddle is " nothing ."  Nothing is greater than God.  Nothing is more evil than the Devil.  The poor have nothing.  The rich need nothing.  And if you eat nothing, you'll die

How to Install Husband 1.0

Ladies, every wonder why guys are so difficult? It is because of our Hardware, Firmware, and Software installation of Husband1.0. I hope you know understand why it is so difficult to do! Dear Tech Support, Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0 . In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 , and then installed undesirable programs such as NEWS 5.0 , MONEY 3.0 and SPORTS 4.1 . Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed, Jane Frustrated Luddite _______________________________ Reply Dear Madam, First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Ent...

Live a Life Worth Living

Incl uded is a short (3 min) film narrated by Alan Watts title d "What if Mon ey Were N o Object."   It talks about how to live a l ife worth living. As the Dali Lama says.. “Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future, that he does not enjoy the present moment. As a result, he does not live in the present or the future, he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never truly lived.”
