Friggatriskaidekaphobia...

Friday the 13th

...is the fear of Friday the 13th - don't worry, it's almost over.

Other interesting phobias which (apparently) exist:

Coulrophobia - Fear of Clowns
Ergasiophobia - Fear of Work (try that one for your next sickie...)
Automatonophobia - Fear of ventriloquist's dummies, animatronic creatures, wax statues, anything that falsely represents a sentient being
Caligynephobia - Fear of beautiful women
Consecotaleophobia - Fear of chopsticks
Arachibutyrophobia - The fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - Fear of long words
Phagophobia - Fear of being eaten
Phobophobia - Fear of phobias!

I wonder how many of these will be Hollywood blockbusters in the future...
