Phobias...
MSN has a great article on phobias in honor of Friday the 13th. (Today is also my Father's birthday!).
I found it amusing, as I was supposed to: http://health.msn.com/centers/mentalhealth/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100111126
This is my favorite part:
Papaphobia-fear of the pope.
Scorodophobia-fear of garlic.
Pteronophobia-fear of being tickled with feathers.
Ranidaphobia-fear of frogs.
Philematophobia-fear of kissing.
Aulophobia-fear of flutes.
Ostraconophobia-fear of shellfish.
Graphophobia-fear of handwriting.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia-fear of long words (seriously).
Blennophobia-fear of slime.
Gerontophobia-fear of old people.
Peladophobia-fear of bald people.
Geropeladophobia-fear of old, bald people.
Phobophobia-fear of developing a fear.
