Well, there's still time. We have trotted out some of our favorite phobias, in hope of creating serious panic. Here is aeronausiphobia--fear of airsickness. We fear being stuck in the centre seat between two people who are rapidly turning green and crying "Where's that bag?"
Then there is neophobia--fear of anything new. And ablutophobia--fear of bathing. And cyberphobia, which is, of course, a morbid fear of computers.
Some phobias come in pairs--among them peladophobia, which is a fear of bald persons (comes from watching "Kojak" at an impressionable age) and phalacrophobia, the fear of going bald oneself.
International Panic Day is co-sponsored by the Sky is Falling Committee. Chicken-licken says "Have a scary day."
