Turkeys among eagles

There have been many, reasonable phobias:

Arachnophobia: Fear of spiders.
Perfectly normal, something with eight elongated legs that spins some kind of liquid solid out of it's rear end is reason enough alone to fear them.

Acrophobia: Fear of Heights
When you look over the edge, with only a guardrail (sometimes) to protect you, it's hard not to feel a sensation of vertigo. One step, one trip, and everything ends.











Agoraphobia: Fear of situations which are difficult to escape.
Stuck in a crowd or open space is scary when you're alone, which isn't helped when events like riots start.















...And there's there this.


Yes, this actually exists (Thank you Gary Larson).
While many phobia's are caused by traumatic events, such as gaining Selachophobia from a shark attack, I find this absolutely hilarious. Firstly: it's a duck. Terrifying things, aren't they? While the most traumatic event I've had relating to this is getting nipped by one as a child, it certainly wasn't enough to believe that that one duck would follow me, forever knowing my whereabouts, stalking me at every opportunity.
Is this related to Journalism? No. Is it hilarious? Yes.

And also, here's another phobia, courtesy of Larson. Real or fake?


-Luposlipaphobia: the fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor.

As promised, here's some music. Enjoy Kid Cudi/Aoki.
