The world is full of odd things. I love it when I find a discussion starting with the words "did you know that..", it means I'm about to learn something new.
Anyway, phobias always seem strange to me. There are so many strange phobias that I just can't understand. How can somebody be afraid of dots? how can somebody be afraid of the truth? how can somebody be so terrified of fear? The strangest fact I know, that's also related to phobias is that Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the phobia name for fear of big words. huh.
So, what is the strangest fact you know? It doesn't have to be about phobias.

Well, for me it is so weird to know that a the antartic is the home for a certain type of worm... i thought that because that place is so cold... no organism can survive there... but since life is so diverse... even in place that are extremely hot can be home to the weirdest organism out there...

well, i know there are animals living in the antarctic but most of em really furry or full of fat to keep them warm. If there are worms living there too I'd imagine they would be big, fat and furry... yuck!! Do you know the name of the species? maybe we can look it up.

Those are some weird phobias. Especially the one with the fear of big words. How coincidental. I can kind of see how someone would be afraid of dots. Not like scared of them, but hating dots because you feel the urge to count them all and you just can't. So it makes you irritated. I personally have a phobia of hair. I hate hair. Hair on the floor and you have wet feet. Yuck. Or hair in my mouth even worse. It makes me cringe. That's all I can think of that is weird or strange at the moment.
