Who am I to judge, but it's paternity leave for a reason - and not so your "stupid newborn" can get in the way of learning a new hobby.
EDIT it was a lot less like a joke originally. Apologies for the offense caused by missing that.

Thanks for the feedback. I made the list more outrageous so it's more obvious.
A lot of male comedians transition to family jokes after having children. This could be the catalyst for my stand up career!
I do it daily. I'm hilarious (to no one but myself).
"dadmedians" Your kids will love hearing that about their dad, until they are older anyway and start to roll their eyes :)
Also, I took pictures of baby peeing on himself to show to his future dates. Can't wait!
My father deliberately didn't take those sort of photos for exactly this reason: he knew my mother would use them to humiliate my brother and I as we got older.
I have bad news for you. Getting a newborn to sleep is child's play. Try getting two 5ish year olds off to school in the morning. It's basically impossible!
I imagine that faced with your first newborn, one might logically assume that there would be periods where the child slept leaving some time for other activities. In reality, the only "hobby" the new parent will want to engage under those conditions is getting some sleep.
