Everyone knows a few phobias, Arachnophobia - the fear of spiders, or Agoraphobia - the fear of open spaces, but im guessing not many of you have heard of Alektorophobia- the fear of chickens or Proctophobia- the fear of rectums. I feel compelled to sympathise with any Proctophobics out there, it can’t be a happy life, being constantly afraid of yours and everyone else's arsehole. Neither can the life of a Cathisophobic be very enjoyable, imagine being afraid of sitting down.

Where has all this phobia related nonsense come from I hear u cry? Well I was watching QI on "Dave", yes a TV channel called “Dave” is stupid and they should all have their testicles chewed on by rabid dogs for 3 hours. Anyway I was watching QI when Alan Davis mentioned a website called www.phobialist.com, my pc was close at hand and I proceeded to have a poke about. Some of them are just silly though, im not sure I know anyone who isn’t a Carcinophobic, that’s someone who's afraid of cancer btw, or an Agliophobic, someone who is afraid of pain.

A small prize will be awarded to the person who finds a phobia funnier than Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth, and posts it in a comment, im not in any rush so the closing date is Christmas, when everyone will have forgotten.
