Here's a nice one:
A census taker knocks on a man's door and asks if he has children.
"I have three children" the man says.
The census taker then asks: "How old are they?"
The man, being a keen mathematician replies: "The product of their ages is 72, and the sum of their ages is the same as my door number"
"Don't be ridiculous" says the census taker, "I can't figure out their ages from that"
"Oh right" replies the man "I forgot to mention that my eldest daughter likes chocolate"
The census taker then writes down the ages of the tree children.
How old are the three children, and why?

My favorite riddle has multiple parts, but remember, no matter how random the parts may be, they all connect to eachother
1. Let's start this off easy. If you have 500 bricks in a plane, and you toss one out, how many are left?
2. That was a little too easy, how about this. What are the 3 steps to put a deer into a fridge?
3. What are the 4 steps to put an elephant into the fridge?
4. How about something a little more vague. It's the Lion King's birthday. All the anmals are there except 1. Which one and why?
5. Hmm, how about this. An old lady is walking through a swamp. She stumbles across a sign that says "BEWARE! Killer crocodiles ahead!" She ignores the signs and presses on. She maked it through the swamp fine. How?
6. Here's the kicker. In the end, the old lady still dies, Why?

I'll snatch up the moment to start my own riddle. Here we go. Oh, and it's not random. At all.
Imagine you're stuck naked in a wooden outhouse with a pet chicken. Outside, there are five arsonists with flamethrowers, four gunners with machine guns, three goats, two pigs, and one banana. The arsonists and gunners have never tasted chicken before, and want a try. They know you're inside with the chicken, and they'll do anything to get it, even if it means killing you. How do you escape alive without harming or letting them take the chicken?

Ok my list of possible answers.
1. Tell them pigs, goats, or the banana taste just like chicken. Then while they are eating it make a run for it with the chicken.
2. Become Chuck Norris and kick some butt.
3. Hide the chicken in the toilet and tell them it ran away.

@Derndeff Uhm, stop imagining?
Aw darn, thought this would be harder if I made it random. Correct!

@MagnaOpera I'm impressed by your riddling skills! That one was good.
I'm not so creative so here's one I didn't make up, it probably won't last long.
You're locked in room. All that's in the room is a calendar, a piano, and a bed.
What do you eat and drink, and how do you escape?

I play piano for food, and send SOS with it?

I'll eat the cake that you most likely will provide :)
