"Anyone have a Phobia?"

Just out of interest. Also, I was wondering if anyone could help with a question i have - What is the fear of Tornadoes called? (In the Nintendo Forum I suggested Cycloniphobia). If anyone asks, I'll tell them why I have a fear of Tornadoes, Twisters, Waterspouts etc.

On that site somewhere, it says the strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.. I don't believe that! How can that even be possible?! Haha!

I've developed a fear of people holding knives. Whether it's a normal knife or a huge one, they scare the poop out of me! :s

This isn't just about finding names (I do know about Google), it's also for people to talk about Phobias. If you don't like it, don't bother posting.
