Kirby Posted May 18, 2008 Technically, wouldn't it still be nothing? Unless you go by logic, which says that it would be the opposite: EVERYTHING 0 Share this post Link to post

Nothing is the answer to the proper riddle which I gave, but no idea what Gokuma's point is with his "inverted version". It certainly doesn't take the opposite answer, everything. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's supposed to be "What's greater than god, worse than the devil, the dead eat it, and if the living eat it they die?". All apparently inverted for comedy effect. 0 Share this post Link to post
Creaphis Posted May 18, 2008 "Anything" works slightly better than "everything." 0 Share this post Link to post

Butts Posted May 18, 2008 actually, after thinking about it for a minute, the best answer is in fact "something"... literally. 0 Share this post Link to post
Alboroto Posted May 19, 2008 It's inverted, right? I think I once heard someone say something like this quoting Ambroce Bierce's "The devils dictionary". 0 Share this post Link to post

GreyGhost Posted May 19, 2008 The correct answer to both versions of the question is - my cooking. 0 Share this post Link to post
