To me, death is before life, pregnancy is after birth and the future is before the past.
What am I?
A dictionary?

Here's one that I made myself. It was originally intended to be a puzzle poem but ultimately became a straight-up riddle.

To warmth, I am the frozen blight
And I am evil to all good;
I am darkness to the light
And barren waste to grass and wood.

I'm what makes the rich turn poor;
I'm what makes the cup run dry;
I'm the source of every war
And what makes the living die.

Know that I am everywhere,
Oppressive as a tyrant's fist;
Know too that I am nowhere,
For technically I don't exist.

What am I?
Change?

Quite beautifully written, by the way.

There are three gods. One always tells the truth ("True"), one always lies ("Liar"), and one will do either with equal probability ("Random"). You do not know which is which.
Asking up to three yes/no questions, one after the other, each directed at any single god of your choosing, determine the nature of all three gods. You are free to work out a 'decision tree' of questioning where the next question or the god to whom it is asked depends on previous answers.
One complication: the gods understand your questions and will answer them according to their nature, but do so in their own shared language, using 'da' or 'ja'. You do not know which means yes and which means no.
The behaviour of gods for paradoxical questions (e.g. "Are you going to answer this question with the word that means no in your language?" asked of True) I will leave undefined as there is an 'elegant' solution which doesn't rely on anything of the sort.

Good luck.

Two coins add up to thirty cents and one of them is not a nickle

A man and a rock are lying in a field. The man is dead and the rock killed him, but it did not touch him. What happened?

Oh, here's another one...

I am found in the pond, at the bottom of the garden
I hide at night's beginning
I can be seen twice per annum
Once in autumn, but never in summer...

This one isn't too hard, I'm sure one of you clever Escapists will figure it out

My appearance is white, but often black. I am long and often hard.

Some ladies loves me, some grudges me, but I stand up every time a lady walks into the room.

What am I?

A gentleman... Get it? They often wear a tuxedo...

Dude, that was an awesome double entendre.
