Hey guys! I love puzzles and word games, and recently I've been asking my friends for some cool riddles, but they don't seem to know very many. Anyone here know any good ones?
I'm just looking for some nice, clean fun. I don't really care about dirty jokes; they're normally pretty boring/obnoxious to me, so if you could refrain from posting them in THIS thread, that would rock. Maybe make a new thread for that, I don't know.
But if you have some awesome brainteasing riddles for me, I'd like to hear them! Thanks! ^_^

Edit: Just to clarify I thought you meant consonant in a phonetic sense rather than as opposed to vowels.
Nothing more needs to be said, but if I think of a good riddle I'll say it anyway.
What are we all born with that the poor have and the rich need? Also, you'll die if you eat it.
And...what can you put in a barrel to make it lighter?
I think a riddle like that requires a larger set.
Oh and:

After 6 rolls I came up with something that got me 2 correct guesses in a row.
Then I got 3 wrong guesses in a row.
I love how sinister Gollum's riddles are.
Queen Anne likes the moon but hates the sun. Queen Anne likes eating all meals with a spoon but never a fork. Queen Anne enjoys keeping pet rabbits but despises cats.
Which gift would Queen Anne appreciate most: a large sapphire, fine silk, or gold bars?
Oh, and here's a cool one in the more regular form:
All across the countryside,
to front doors he travels.
But you never invite him in.
There are a bunch like that from Betrayal at Krondor, an old PC RPG.

Edit: Oh, and if you want to start a yes-or-no question riddle, here's a good one.
Music stops, lady dies.
Figure out what happened, and why.
I was going to guess child molester, but your answer works too.

Questions:
Is the type of music that was being played relevant to how she died?
If yes, what type of music was being played?
Are they playing MUSICAL CHAIRS?
If no, I'm sad because that was my best guess, and I hate you.
What is the source of the music? A band? A radio?
just started this game today and thought the same thing when I saw the thread title.
A hunter walked one mile south from his camp. He then walked one east where he found and shot a bear. He then walked one mile north and found that he was back at his camp. What color was the bear?

Oh right, now I remember this one.
Hehe, yeah, a fun one.
Oh good, you can take over if I go to bed.
I've heard the lady dying one but I don't remember it.
Is the genre of the music being played relevant?
Is a type of instrument being played relevant?
Is the reason the music stops related to the reason the lady dies?
Is the lady the only person that dies?
You're on a roll. Be warned, it gets complicated.
Classical?
Rock & Roll?
Blues?
Jazz?
Is the type of instrument being played:
Violin?
Guitar?
Drums?
Saxophone?
Piano?
Did someone intend to kill the lady?
Was it an accident?
Spoilered for size:
Is who the murderer is made obvious after the lady dies?
Was it at a
large venue?
medium venue?
intimate venue?
Was there a peculiar characteristic to the lady in question and only her that made it possible for her to be killed?

Did the person playing the drums intend to kill the lady?
Was a drum stick responsible for her death?
Did the lady rely on the music to keep her alive for some reason?
