That's a great list. Thanks for putting it up. All those people are crazy. What a bunch of weirdos. :o)

Personally, I fear the power of suggestion.

Like I'm gonna develop a bunch of those on the list now.

I have to yell at my wife every time she tells me she has a headache. Because within seconds, I have one. As a matter of fact, I just got one, the moment I thought of it. It doesn't (ow! shit!! it really hurts ~ I shouldn't do that) happen when I hear it from someone else, randomly; but I must empathize with her. Or something.

suggestophobia.

I'm beginning to fear stocks, too.

My goodness, there's the list! I hope you were able to scan that, and didn't have to type it all, but either way, thanks. I know arachnophobia is spider phobia, my mother has it. Which is how I got tangled up in the golden orb spiders to begin with, she used to live in a house out in the country and her yard was infested with golden orb spiders. They are very large, but harmless, in fact, like all spiders they eat insects, so they are beneficial. But I would occasionally go out there and take a broom and brush them off her house because she was phobic. Of course, I never hurt them, but displacing them made me feel mean. And getting tangled up in them made me shriek.
