Hello again strangers
See, now I feel bad. There was me thinking I wouldn't get any responces and that this would be just a random thing I was writing (essentially to myself). As it turns out however, people actually read these things.
*sigh* Yes, I was aparently wrong about the whole Einstein being dyslexic thing, terribly sorry, after a few Hail Marys and a Our Fathers I'm sure god will forgive me.
and to the comment about the blue shades, I have no idea, probubly though. Quite often people with dyslexia have trouble reading black writing on white paper, so they put coloured sheets infront of the paper... but more likely your friend with blue shades is just a secret agent or a badass.
Anyways, I was at this open evening for another centre we opened in the company I work for, and I was chatting away to someone (smiling and nodding, not really paying attention as you do) and I overheard a conversation someone else was having about a fear his wife had. Russophobia.
It's the uncontrollable, irrational fear of Russian people. Is that not just the funniest god damn thing you've ever heard in your life?... other than Brazilian Fart Porn... that sh*t'll f*ck with your head...
So I went ahead looking into it (like any true recluse with no life) and it turns out that hillarious phobias aren't that uncommon, e.g
Pogonophobia: Fear of beards
Koumpounophobia: Fear of buttons
Linonophobia: Fear of string
Omphalophobia: Fear of belly buttons
Optophobia: Fear of opening one's eyes
Plutophobia: Fear of wealth
Symbolophobia: Fear of symbolism
Zemmiphobia: Fear of the great mole rat (I know right?)
I didn't really have a point to this ramble other than I find people with dumb phobias hillarious.
Yes, I am a douchebag. |
