A Colourful Life of Colourful People

I'm being highly amused by Leungyan's post about the elimination of Pluto as a planet. Amusement was my second reaction though. My first reaction was *jaw drop*. [Click here to view what made my jaw drop and amused at]
Yesterday, Lyn and i had the same reaction when a guy in front of us suddenly stopped and both of us went: "Wark!". It was really funny.
Weiyi decided to pull a prank on Lyn and follow right behind Lyn while Lyn was desperately searching for her and Weiyi was tugging on my shirt from the bag. This went on for about ten minutes and Lyn didn't realise it. Yea, as lyn said, "I'm sixth sense dense".
Shin was asking me what was the scientific term for fear of heights. So I googled it and came by this webpage that made me go: Oh my gosh. So many. Here are a few i found amusing:

Androphobia- Fear of men.
Anglophobia- Fear of England or English culture, etc. [Would singapore government allow a person to drop english if this person has such medical conditions?]
Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth. [Hoho!! Peanut butter ROCKS!]
Aurophobia- Fear of gold.
Barophobia- Fear of gravity.
Bibliophobia- Fear of books. [All students have it!] Chaetophobia- Fear of hair.
Chrometophobia or Chrematophobia- Fear of money.
Consecotaleophobia- Fear of chopsticks.
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia- Fear of the number 666.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words.[I guess the length of the word itself tells it all]
Ithyphallophobia- Fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis.Medomalacuphobia- Fear of losing an erection.
Medorthophobia- Fear of an erect penis.
And the classic one:
Phobophobia- Fear of phobias.

I had a real good time @ 12:34 PM
