Necrophobia- the fear of dying and of the dead

Claustrophobia- the fear of small confined spaces

Arachnophobia- the fear of spiders

Emetophobia- the fear of vomit

All of these are valid fears.  A few days ago I was out the fair and came across these and they were terrifying.  If you suffer from Coulrophobia you might want to stay away from these.

In the United States if you find a four leaf clover you consider yourself lucky. In India you have to make your own luck. One lucky ritual has you throw your baby off a 50 foot tower. if you threw a baby off a 50 foot tower you would go to jail.  In India it means it is time to party.

With all of the news about the crazy weather I thought it might be good for everyone to know their odds of dying at the hands of mother nature. 

 · Flood: 1-in-30,000
· Tornado: 1-in-60,000
· Lightning strike: 1-in-83,930
· Earthquake: 1-in-131,890
· Asteroid impact: 1-in-200,000
· Tsunami: 1-in-500,000

You can complain all you want about your little roach or termite problem.  They simply aren’t a big deal to Floridians.  Here we have alligators that will invade your homes.  Who do you call then?  I don’t think the Orkin guy handles eight foot gators.  Sure roaches and termites can be a minor nuisance but when is the last time someone was killed and eaten by a termite or roach?

The fair is in town again. I would like to go this year. I am not interested in the rides but I would like to try a fried twinkie, fried oreo, fried snickers, fried coke and anything else that you can throw in a deep fryer.

Someone took a lot of time to set this up.

Here is a great new product for the uncertain mother.  By uncertain I mean the expecting mother has no idea who impregnated her.  Sometimes mom gets around and this product is made just for her.  That’s right.  Uncertain moms can now go to the local drug store and pick up a do it yourself DNA Paternity Test.  Sure you have to narrow done the field to collect the DNA samples but if there are a lot of prospective fathers you can always buy more than one kit.  The only thing that makes me sad about this product is that I might not get to use the word bastard as much as I like. 

Well he wasn’t really shot just grazed but a .22 caliber bullet did hit the chef.  Just goes to show you that you aren’t safe anywhere.

Is there anyone that passionate about the Burger King that they would want a Burger King card?  I think he is just plain creepy.  Whatever happened to the good old days Burger King didn’t look so creepy and he had his pal the Burger Thing with him?

Got a ghost and you don’t know what to do? Who ya gonna call? Well if you are in NY you can call Brooklyn Ghost Investigators. They charge $20 an hour.

the group, which claims to have honed its spooky craft by watching such TV shows as “Ghost Hunters” and “Paranormal State,” has one client: a man who said he saw two apparitions in his apartment.

Can you really hone your craft from watching television? I used to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer but that does not make me a slayer. No report on what they do if they find a ghost or what they do to get rid of it. I can offer them only one tip. Never Cross the Streams!
