The fear of long words
There are a lot of interesting and random phopias out there. Dendrophobia is the fear of trees. Blennophobia is the fear of slime. And neophobia is the fear of anything new. However, the fear of long words may have the most ironic (and cruelest name).Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia. So let’s say you do have this phobia. You’d be terrify to name your ailment. Kind of a conundrum.

Anatidaephobia
Anatidaephobia is the fear that somewhere in the world there is a duck watching you.
Anatidaephobia is the pervasive, irrational fear that, somewhere in the world, a duck is watching you. The person believes that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck is watching them.
The people who suffer from this phobia have suffered some sort of trauma in their lives, likely when he or she was a child. This trauma probably had to do with a duck or some sort of related water fowl, like a goose. Perhaps the person was attacked by one of these animals.
Some of the symptoms of this phobia include an anxiety or panic attack. This results in a dry mouth, shortness of breath, muscle tension, hyperventilation, etc.
India has more cell phones than ...
The issue of toilets in India is of huge concern- there is a problem with public defecation and urination.. Actually there are many houses that are just not fortunate enough to have a toilet.
But this new stat is fairly sad- There are more cellphones in India, than there are toilets. Both are incredibly necessary in today's day and age.. Maybe there is a toilet app out there that will relieve the Indian people of this stat.
