    Phobias you may have never heard of

    Aibohphobia -- a joke term for the fear of palindromes, which is a palindrome itself.
    Anatidaephobia -- fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you (fictional)
    Arachibutyrophobia -- fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
    Arachnophobiaphobia -- the fear of people who are afraid of spiders
    Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia — fear of long words.
    Luposlipaphobia -- the fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly-waxed floor (fictional)
    Phobophobia -- the fear of fear itself.

    and if you have this one, you should kill yourself:

    Venustraphobia -- fear of beautiful women
    -Chris
    Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

    I thought Venustraphobia was the fear of sleeping with Venus Williams. That may be worth killing yourself over.
