New discovery!

For me, that is. Found out the technical term for fear of worms is Scoleciphobia, which makes sense. (Skolopendere = Centipede.)  Not that it means I'm afraid of centipedes, but my grandmother is and my father was afraid of snakes.
Honestly, it makes sense, maybe I'm genetically inclines to be afraid of wriggling things. *Shudders*
And as always you get a small quote:
Me: Stumbled upon a picture of a worm on the net here, curled up and... Yuck! I was so grossed out I barely managed to find the keys to close the tab, which incidentally closed everything else...
E: Why didn't you just hit the return-key?
Me: *Feeling stupid* No one said I was a genius! And I was almost in panic.
E: *Patting my back* No, no one said you were a genius.
