This is from Sunday Puzzle on NPR.

Write down the digits from 2 to 7, in order. Add two mathematical symbols to get an expression equaling 2010. What symbols are these?

 
A man lives on the twelfth floor of an apartment building. Every morning he wakes up, gets dressed, eats, goes to the elevator, takes it down to the lobby, and leaves the building for work. In the evening, he goes through the lobby to the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator he goes back to his floor directly. However, if there is nobody else in the elevator he goes to the 10th floor and walks up two flights of stairs to his apartment. Why?

We did this one earlier. One of my favorites.

An Arab sheikh tells his two sons that are to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel arrives last will win. The brothers, after wandering aimlessly for days, ask a wise man for advise. After hearing the advice they jump on the camels and race as fast as they can to their destination.

What did the wise man tell them?

Is the destination they race to after talking to the wise man the same destination they were heading to earlier?

Not sure if this one has been done before:

Two children born in the same hospital room within the same hour, day, and year, have the same biological mother and father, but are not twins.

:hophead: They're part of a set of triplets.
I knew this one.I actually have triplets, 2 boys 1 girl, and when people ask if the boys are twins I say no, but tell them they are the same age. People can't figure it out until I tell them there is a third. It gets better when they ask how did it happen. I usually tell them it started when I got my wife drunk and took off her clothes. The older ladies give me a dirty look but the younger ones laugh.

For the ones who keep asking questions after I tell them how it started, if I think they are too nosy, I tell them that it happened in a Victorian home, bed and breakfast place and the bed was waist high. I show them the height with my hands. Then I tell them I wasn't even in the bed, just next to it. If they give me another dirty look, I also let them know that I had just been shut off at the bar and still performed like a champ. :thumbup: I usually laugh and walk away at that point. All true btw.
 
You guys said you did it but I never saw the answer. The word was Startling.

Paul’s height is six feet, he’s an assistant at a butcher’s shop, and wears size 9 shoes. What does he weigh?

My two sons are 2 years apart. When they were little they looked a lot alike. Of course one was 2 years old and the other was 4. People would actually ask us "Are they twins?" I'd usually reply with "Yeah, but we just don't feed that one."
 
You are walking through a field, and you find something to eat. It doesn't have bones, and it doesn't have meat. You pick it up and put it into your pocket. You take it home and put it on a shelf, but 3 day's later it walks away. What is it?
