I'll try to think of a few more here.

1. What is the longest word in the dictionary?

2. Every day the man saw his dog ran into the woods. However, he noticed that the dog never ran more than halfway into the woods. Why?

3. An island and the letter "t" have something in common. What is it?

4. What is as big as you are and yet does not weigh anything?

5. A cowboy rode into town on Friday, stayed three days, and rode out again on Friday. How did he do it?

4. I want to say your shadow, but it's not always as big as you...

5. Friday is the name of the cowboy's horse.

Nice one about the Cowboy, I would of never thought of that.

We are all little creatures and we all have different features. One of us in glass is set. Another one you'll find in jet. One of us you'll fine it tin, another one is boxed within. If the fifth you wish to see, it will never fly from you. What are we?

This one's actually by Jonathon Swift...I read all of his works after stumbling upon "A Modest Proposal." Awesome stuff, eating babies is.

Spoiler

The vowels, a e i o and u.

Good job. I actually heard this in one of the Dark Tower books. Loads of riddles in the third book.

Ok, I got one:

Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?

Not a single man got wet, all four did.

Not a single man got wet, all four did.

Either that answer, or the boat is a submarine and they just sank along with it.

Suppose I should contribute something myself...

Anthony and Cleopatra are lying dead on the floor. The only thing nearby is a broken bowl. The bowl wasn't used to hit them or cut them. How did they die?

 

[Anarchemitis]

What is easy to manipulate and hard to operate?

This one is annoying me...

Snigger snigger. I knew no one would get it.
[Unlike other super-challenging riddles I have put forth, this one has a good answer.]

The thing is, it could be any number of things... right? Is there any one right answer?

There is one, finite, simple answer.

Both wrong.

What are tree mistake in this sentence?

edit: here is another one I remember:

A man says, "Brothers and sisters, have I none, but that man's father is my father's son." Who is he pointing at?

Dunno 'bout the first one, but the guy points to himself.

 

[CptRumGuy]

correct :]

EDIT: That was directed at notoriouslynx, sorry.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

The one about the four guys in the boat and not a single one getting wet? Were they all married, and thus not 'single'?

 

[mangus]

I have two:

A man lives in a hotel, and everyday he gets the lift from the top floor (20th) to the bottom, and goes to work. However on the way back up after work he only goes to the 8th floor, and walks the rest of the way.

He has a secret mistress on the 20th floor.
