This is a question Phobias

What gives you the heebie-jeebies?

It's a bit strong to call this a phobia, but for me it's the thought of biting into a dry flannel. I've no idea why I'd ever want to or even get the opportunity to do so, seeing as I don't own one, but it makes my teeth hurt to think about it. *ewww*

Tell us what innocent things make you go pale, wobbly and send shivers down your spine.

Bollocks!
It always amuses me what some people will believe. They seem to think that just 'cos they read it on the Internet or in the newspaper it must be true.

Now think about what you've just written.

"More people are killed every year by donkeys than die in plane crashes."

Now read it again. Do you *honestly* think this could be true. Are there hordes of killer donkeys out there charging into third-world villages and savaging the inhabitants?

And how do these killer-donkeys actually manage to kill so many people. They haven't go razor sharp teeth or fangs for tearing, they can't actually hold you down (lack of opposable thumbs) and strangle you. I suppose they might, with a million to one shot, be able to give you a nasty kick, but, to be honest, even a starving third world teenager could take a donkey. They're not very big.
