Right moving on to names then?
I took to calling our bump Josh Junior, or Joju ("even if it's a girl -- especially if it's a girl...") Unfortunately, this seems to have stuck among some of my friends, who don't seem to care that we actually gave him a real name once he was born.
Our birth story: we went for a hospital birth, but delayed going to hospital as long as possible. He popped out 45 minutes after we got there - there wasn't even enough time for my wife to get onto the good drugs. The only recommendation I can give is "have a small baby".

And then there's reality...
...in which all participants are, in general, actively trying to have a good time, rather than provide an anatomy lesson in a paradoxical attempt to make it "more real". Reality is just fine.

Oh dear. I'm told HD porn is nothing short of horrifying - I can't imagine 3D would make things any better...

That aspect slipped right past me until you mentioned it now. I must be gazing at even fewer magazine covers than Keith.
Ditto - I'd heard "Tiger Woods had a car accident" followed by "Tiger Woods had an affair" followed by "Tiger Woods had multiple affairs" followed by "Tiger Woods had ALL OF THE AFFAIRS", but I'd always assumed he just operated on a "what goes on tour stays on tour" mindset. Damn.

But surely you're not suggesting that Jackson was "torn down" because of his fame? If anything, his fame kept him out of jail.
Reminds me of a cartoon I saw at the time he was settling out of court: A father is talking to his son, saying "That's what's so great about living in America, son: any child, no matter how poor, can grow up to become a millionaire... just by having sex with Michael Jackson."

According to QI (and Stephen Fry would never lie to you), it was the tiral of Oscar Wilde that put an end to friendly physical contact between men in Western/British society. Before that it was normal for men to walk arm-in-arm etc.

Well, I'm out. At my Civil Union, the Best Man's speech started along the lines of "I've been preparing for this speech for a long time, but Josh has been preparing for it for even longer -- the bastard's left me nothing to work with" and proceeded to list all of the vices and embarrassments I've failed to acquire. No psycho ex-girlfirends, no donkey porn on the laptop, no drunken injuries, no brushes with the law etc etc.
I'm still not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction - "So if your mates are eating burgers and acting like dicks, the cops will think you're on drugs?" There's no indication (that I could see) that the guy did anything to warrant getting tested.

I don't think they could be used as an argument for unregulated downloading.
Has anyone made such an argument?

There's an urban legend that one of the first wave of rave acts - Altern8, 808 State, or someone like that - played a gig once where their bass was so powerful that a number of ravers inadvertently voided their bowels....
Ah, the brown note - I heard about it as a rumour attached to the Butthole Surfers, but it seems to be an urban myth. Shame, no illegal bowel disruptors for us...
