[QUOTE="Goobermunch, post: 911365, member: 10516"] Spiders-- oh yeah. Big fear. Henry got that one right. Heights. Even as opposed to grounds. My acrophobia went through the roof the first time I went snorkelling. Something about looking down and not seeing the bottom was even scarier than looking down and seeing the ground. At least with the ground there's an end. Plus, you don't know what's down there and looking back up at you . . . . Fire. Death by a cold fire (meaning most fires you'll ever encounter) has to be the worst imaginable way to die. Even if you escape, if any large portion of you was burned, odds are you're toast. Death by hot fire isn't quite so bad, I imagine. If it's that hot, you'll probably die instantly. No need to smell death coming. Ants, wasps, bees, ants. Ants are really bad. When I was in high school I spend a few weeks out on Cape Cod. Realize, I'm from Alaska. Our local fauna are pretty laid back. We don't do a lot of ants. One morning I went down to grab some breakfast. I took two steps into the kitchen and started feeling these burning sensations in my legs. I couldn't see what was causing them at first. Then I put on my glasses. I'd stepped into a massive ant swarm. I had hundreds of them climbing on my legs stinging me. It was pretty awful. Especially when I realized that there were thousands more marching into the house. Manatees. I swear, if you want proof of the existence of the Great Old Ones, just look at the manatee. All those "scars" that scientists tell you are from "boats" aren't. That's where the tentacles come out. Just look at their eyes. Gangrene and other kinds of body rot. Spend a few minutes visualizing your body melting slowly and you'll see what I mean. --G [/QUOTE]
