The joke I thought included the window is open as a red herring to water and *glass* on the floor.

Here's an oldie, but goodie:
There is a room with a table inside. The window is open. There is some water on the floor. Frank is on the floor, dead.
How did Frank die?
I've heard two possible solutions for this one. There might be more, so take some guesses. If you already know it or find it via Google, don't answer yet and let people guess.

I don't care if you steal the riddles from somewhere on the net, I won't google them.
There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body, or moving in any way (other than the eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?

No fair, you can't go forwards and then backwards that just complicated the thing so much.

Another beginning to one:
Although I am dead, I cover the living,
Many survive through the warmth I am giving,
Fur coat?
Yep. Too easy, it's tough to make them hard enough to think about but easy enough to be solvable.

I thought the wording was a little different from the original riddle. That's about the only way to anti-Google it -- change words, names, etc., but keep the same meaning.

OK, last one from me for the day, my head is starting to hurt:
Some use me for warmth, others to maim,
Yet others use me to spread their fame,
(more to come)

How is a mouth used for warmth?
My guess is: a flame?
