Five stories that people tell that are never as entertaining as they think they are. And two that are:

1. Stories about their pets
2. Stories about their dream from the night before
3. Stories about their commute in
4. Stories about shopping at Target
5. Stories about meetings that you weren't at.

1. Stories that result in a person having to be put on a high powered antibiotic for three months
2. Stories involving hitchhiking.

You omitted stories people tell about their own children. The Chinese have not developed a method of torture to match it. My blog is proof that death can indeed be achieved through boredom. Turning into a pillar of salt by reading about my child would also be an interesting way to go, but I'm not sure if that option is available in your area just yet.

One thing I think is funny is how the digital camera has allowed for people to send almost constant updates of their child's progression in almost encyclopedic detail. There should be a schedule. Like
0-2 months up to 3 pictures a week
2-6 months 2 pictures every other week
6-1 year 2 pictures a month
1 year-on pictures for birthdays and holidays

Yes, and I think it should become a law and not just a schedule, especially to protect the photographic rights of second-born children. My parents photographed every second of my older brother's first few years of life. I think they finally got around to taking a pic of me, the second born, around the fourth grade. Being second sucks (or, as you would say, is not awesome).
That said, I feel sorry for my son. Someday, a classmate is going to Google him (probably some silly girl), and it's all going to hit the fan at school. And then he'll hate me forever, because the blog is the electronic equivalent of the bare-butt-on-the-bearskin shot. But what fun is being a mother if you can't embarrass your kid once in a while?
Just food for thought when you decide to spawn.
