... or wisdom...or expertise ... or skill... or ... talent or lots of words. Did I miss something that makes knowledge more appropriate than almost anything else?
I was thinking wisdom too

im with everyone else on this one..it could be lots of things.. i hate it when people throw phrases into a riddle for the sole reason of rhyming... and that offer no hint ot reference to the answer... for ex: "or thrown into the sea".. well obviously.. if it cant be lifted off the ground.. then it couldnt possibly be thrown into the sea... oh well.. sorry for rambling.... *smile*
I chose knowledge, mostly because it says "while others forgot". I don't think wisdom is something you forget or expertise for that matter. I thought this was a fine teaser.
Cool I like this one
I figured it was wisdom also.
but the 'tossed in the sea' threw me.
very good though!
