Phobias

I don't remember why, 

but recently I was talking to some students about PHOBIAS, 

or irrational fears / anxiety disorders. 

Click the picture for a link to a list of phobias.

My favorites have to be,

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia – fear of long words

Anatidaephobia – the fictional fear that a duck is watching you.

and

Venustraphobia – fear of beautiful women (Which I have!)
