	Money can't buy knives!

	I've also heard, "A fool and his money are easily parted", possible alternative?

	@ezazahaz: Although a movie quote, I don't think "Money can't buy knives" is common enough to be considered a cliché.

	@ stencer: You are right about "A fool and his money are easily parted", I have added it as an alternative.

	Good quiz. Maybe accept donut.

	@ googlebird: Good suggestion, "donut" has been added as an alternative.

	Actually, the phrase is "the love of money is the root of all evil." It's from the Bible.

	@ scgal: You are right, I have made the correction.

	The English equivalent of 'To turn on a ...' is 'To turn on a sixpence'. Good quiz btw

	slipkid:	Oct 23rd, 2010 at 19:14 GMT		3 points
	@ Flick: Thanks for the English equivalent. I have added "sixpence" as an answer. I like to keep my quizzes as Brit & Aussie friendly as possible.

	"as good as it gets", perhaps?

	MRL:	Feb 5th, 2011 at 00:43 GMT		2 points
	@Icicle: "As good as it gets" wouldn't have anything to do with money.

	Flatlined:	Feb 9th, 2011 at 04:50 GMT		0 points
	I have to argue with scgal. The cliche is "money is the root of all evil," and the Bible passage is "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." I would stick with the cliche here. Trying to be true to the original phrase will just be confusing in this quiz's context.

	great quiz, slipkid! i just have two suggestions. first, i have heard "money cant buy you FRIENDSHIP" also. secondly, dont ask how i know this, but in Spongebob, they say "another day another nickel!" id add that as a bonus answer, because im sure im not the only one who will ever type that in. overall, it was great. 5 orbs and a favorite!

	@trick39berry: Thanks for the suggestions, I've added them in. "Another nickel" is now my second bonus. I don't know if anyone else has stumbled on my 1st bonus, it is the more common slangy (vulgar?) completion to "To bet your...", as in "You can bet your ____ on it." Thanks for the 5 and fave, I appreciate it.
