Saw this at work...........

Amazing what some people can be scared of!  

Particularly unusual being

"arachibutyrophobia (fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of one's mouth), or genuphobia (a fear of knees)"

Weird  :shock:

Anorexic's are scared of chins, they can only cope with one, hence the eating disorder.

I'm suprised no-one has noticed the link before to be honest

He has a head like a duck and a square crash helmet. That is why he is so slow, bad aerodynamics.

I reckon I'd be pretty scared of dinosaurs. lucky they're extinct... unless they build that jurassic park. If we're gonna build new animals from dna we should do something useful like giant cows.

It's only a phobia if it's a fear of something that could harm you. A fear of moths isn't a phobia for instance, but a fear of spiders is because some some can be fatal in their bites. I knew that episode of QI would let me spout that uninteresting fact  8)

I have a friend who is afraid of helmets. HELMETS FFS!

I manage to cope.I just get scared holding a knife when theres someone around, or someone else is holding one. I know nothing will happen but its still scary.

I hate fires  :(  I was never good in science at school. Everytime someone lit a bunsen burner I had a fit.

Giant cows would be most useful. extra meat and milk - which in turn means more cheese.
 
Also imagine riding around on a twenty foot high cow. You'd be a king.
