more evil than the devil.
The rich need it and the poor have it.

I've also got this, although I'm positive I have heard it before (it took a good few hours to recall) so I don't feel too proud. I can't be arsed to PM you though. That's actually a little bit of a clue to anyone still musing....

Not a terribly satisfactory answer. E.g. it would seem to imply that "nothing is greater than god", which might be your opinion but certainly isn't mine, preferring as I do to ascribe greatness to things that exist.

It should have been, "It is greater than Countdown..."

You find everyone funny, Jason. Do you want Kai to be Countdown's new presenter?
