Last night at 2AM, Maryam Scoble gave birth to a healthy 9 pound boy named Milan.  Scoble being Scoble, of course there's a Twittergram marking the moment, and some Flickr pics. And Maryam's seemingly endless labor was lovingly chronicled on Twitter itself. Oh happy day! Much love and a hearty mazel tov to the proud parents, his big bro Patrick and the newborn baby boy.

It&#39;s an old and familiar story: Cool Kid #1 plans a party and hundreds of people are on the guest list. Cool Kid #2 gets jealous and decides to throw a separate party at the same time, but with cooler toys, better food, and FREE MASSAGES. Now Cool Kid #1 isn&#39;t talking to Cool Kid #2. As the father of two middle-school-aged boys, I&#39;ve heard all this before (except the bit about the massages, thankfully).

There once was a boy who for no apparent reason went around knifing his classmates. This boy's parents took him to nearly every mental health professional with no success... until one day a famous hypnotist came to town. There was a long line to speak to him, and as they waited medical doctors hovered around them trying to convince them it was all quackery.  But the parents, figuring they had nothing to lose, continued standing in line with their disturbed son.  At long last they told the doctor about their son's twisted history, and after a long pause the doctor looked the boy square in the eye and said,  "My, won't you be surprised when you never do anything like this again."

Name: Dallas Thomas ... city: Stillwater ... state: ok."
