Arachibutyrophobia
« on: September 13, 2006, 06:22 PM »
A friend pointed me to this, his theory, which I'm inclined to agree with, is that the company must have generated webpages for different phobias and this one snuck in; Arachibutyrophobia at Change Thats Right Now.

[EDIT]If anyone here, god forbid, actually suffers form this I'm not belittling it, just that the above page sounds utterly ridiculous in the way it talks about it :) [/EDIT]

They have a complete list of phobias, clicking on different phobias shows you like pages with the names/conditions changed.  Some more absurd than others.

I have an idea about your friends novel little theory.  I think they're absolutely correct.

Haha! Yes, the theory looks correct, but that's a real phobia. :D I think fear of gravity is a bit more ridiculous. ;) Seems like some people have nothing better to do than sit around and invent new things to be afraid of, lol.
