ha! cool, er, more like random....i think the one about a fear of long words id funny because the name of the fear is a long word! :)
yeah. these phobias are kinda random because I don't think you could find someone afraid on the great mole rat or the bogyman etc. some of the phobias I was going to put down were pretty racist to. like fears of the german, dutch, french, russians a so on. but you can't really stop someone having a lifetime fear, can't you?
if any one has got Paraskavedekatriaphobia they'll be scared of when skipperbob was born! what about pathophobia(dont know how to spell) a fear of everything!
lots of people know that there is a fear of everything.
did you know that there is a fear of wooden lollipop sticks? weird...
there is a fear of phobia, did you know that! it's random!
i guess they must all be possible or they wouldnt be real! .....i think so anyway?....
Cool Primmy pal, but I knew all that!
Some people of the world overcome their fears, or do suicide - it's tragic, really.
