ok, sure..
I work on the 19th floor.
Sometimes on sunny days I take the elevator to the 10th floor and then
walk to the 19th. Other times on a sunny day I'll take the elevator
all the way to the 19th floor. On rainy days I always take it to the
19th floor.
Who(what) am I?

I've also heard it, but it's been a week, and I have one I want oto ask, so
I'll give the answer: You are too short to reach the 19th floor button, so
you sometimes get someone to push it for you. However, on rainy days, you
have an umbrella with you, so you push the 19th floor button yourself.
A man lies dead next to a rock. How did he die?

(Does it have something to do with him striking the rock or vice versa?)

No. The key to these kinds of riddles is to get several ppl, each working
to get the answer bit by bit. Random guesses are rarely right, andthe answer
of "no" just isn't helpful. Two examples (and the real answers) follow:
Was there any contact between the man and the rock?
No.
Is this a particular man?
Yes.
See the idea? Both the yes answer and the no answer provided useful
information, helping to lead you to questions with even more useful answers.

Re #91: No, the rock was not crack cocaine.
Re #92: You're not supposed to blurt out the answer if you know it. *sigh*
