One of the stranger phobias is Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia. Its a fear of the number 666.
Theres also Tetraphobia, a fear of the number 4.

Well, Xenophobia is always better than Anatidaephobia.
Google it I'd say.

I remember this from a Far Side cartoon.

There was also one for Luposlipophobia: The innate fear of running around a kitchen table, being pursued by wolves, while wearing fresh socks on a newly waxed floor.

So, the other day I heard someone use the term 'Xenophobia'. I heard this and immediately my mind turned to rom dumps.

I assumed that it was an actual word, so I looked it up. I saw the definition and preceded to laugh until I couldn't breathe.

Well just a fun bit of history on this, perhaps there's a ROM group that uses the name but to me a ROM jumped to mind sure, but it's an arcade and NES ported game -- Xenophobe and it's quite good too.
