Nothing

Nothing

Yes, the answer is nothing. But . . . from BreakTheChain.org
Many things on the 'net are attributed to national radio commentator Paul Harvey. Some are similar to his "Rest of the Story" theme, but others, like this one, don't really sound Harvey-esque. Harvey does have some connection to this piece, but saying that it is "from Paul Harvey" is a bit misleading.

Though Harvey read the essay above on his radio program in 1997, he did not write it. It was originally titled "These things I wish for you," and the author was Lee Pitts. It existed in many forms before it was read by Harvey and published in Chicken Soup for the Golden Soul in 2000. The Harvey attribution may be because the theme of the essay is similar to other essays that have been misattributed to him.

The essay circulated alone before the riddle was attached. Just as with the essay, Harvey did not create the riddle. He may have featured it on his show, but I've been unable to verify that. Given no reliable source, there is no reason to believe the statistics. In fact, they only exist to illustrate how we tend to get jaded as we get older and fail to see the simple answers that kids easily identify. Sending this e-mail 10 times, then pressing "shift" will not make anything happen except possibly make 10 people mad at you.

Come to think of it, doing what the letter says will produce exactly the solution to the riddle... NOTHING! Break this Chain.
