I know this has been discussed a million times, but I still haven't got it.

 I understand this line:
permit icmp any 0.0.0.255 255.255.255.0 eq echo log-input
permit icmp any 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eq echo log-input

 this will log all ICMP traffic going to network and broadcast addresses
 this part I don't understand
permit icmp any 0.0.0.255 255.255.255.0 eq echo-reply log-input
permit icmp any 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eq echo-reply log-input

why would this router log echo-reply traffic going to network and broadcast
addresses when the echo-reply should be the spoofed IP that the perpetrator
sent.

The same explaination will apply to UDP. Anyone?
