No, but the other one is! 
You have NO idea how many people couldn't get that one here! That was fun.

Heard this one the other day and don't know the solution: The numbers 4 and 5 Put a mathmatical symbol between them (+,-,...etc.) The equation should equal a number greater than 4 but less than 6. Like I said, I don't know the solution.

If it's supposed to be a math symbol, should it not be the symbol for "greater than or equal to"?

that is so very true.... How about this one: It's more powerful than God. It's more evil than the devil. The poor have it. The rich need it. If you eat it, you'll die. What am I?
