It proceeded God.
It is greater than God.
It is more evil than the devil.
Poor people have plenty of it.
Wealthy people need it.
If you eat it you will die.

What is it?

[The answer has 7 letters. 80% of kindergarteners will figure it out, only 5% of Stanford grads can solve it.]

If you know the answer because you've heard it before, please hold off for a bit and let others think about the puzzle.

Wouldn't it have preceeded God, not proceeded?

I know the answer but I won't admit it for fear of being labelled a kindergarten kid...

OK, how about this one....

I am usually in a wooden case
I can have a square or round base
I have my own set of weights
In my name, is what a child calls a parent
When you hear me, I am apparent
I am Grand.
By my name, I sound old
I am in stores where I am sold
Short I am not
I usually sit in one spot

Google is cheating :P

MAYBE you can't google this one - but seems the net is so endless - the answer to all questions lies within our easy reach if we search correctly.... but here goes......

I found it in the woods, looked but didn't see it, took it home because I couldn't find it......

What 7 letter word becomes longer when the third letter is removed?

There are two rooms. One has three lights and the other has three switches. Bob starts out in the room with the switches. He is alone. He can not see the room with the lights. Once he leaves the the switches room, the door closes and locks. How does Bob figure out which light goes to which switch?

okay okay, one more....ya'll should get this one...it's very easy!

A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?
