You know that chain email that said "Can you answer this riddle?" then listed a "heartwarming" message from a reminiscent father named Paul Harvey? Did you send the email to ten people and anxiously wait to hear the answer to the riddle that a bunch of kindergartners could figure out but stumped college kids? How did you feel when you knew that you'd been duped when no such answer appeared?
I went onto snopes.com before forwarding the email and found out that the answer to the riddle is "nothing". That's why nothing happened when you sent it to 10 people. But it gets worse!!! There was no survey that said kindergartners answered the riddle correctly while Stanford University graduates didn't and Paul Harvey never wrote any of that stuff. I did think the riddle was very clever and almost deserved being sent ten times, though. Too bad the chain mail (like most others) was a BLATANT FRAUD (heh, heh, I used big words). Here's a link to the snopes.com article:
