Polydactylism
Question- what is polydactylism?
Answer#1- # 3 in yahoo’s top 10 search list
Answer #2- Polydactylism, or having one or more extra fingers or toes, is probably the most common abnormality of development found at birth. Polydactylism is reported in about 2 per 1000 children.
I am ashamed to say I had never heard that word before. And, since it was #3 on the yahoo list, I must be about the only one. But, in case I wasn’t, now you know what polydactylism is, too. And, now that I have learned my something for the day, I am done doing anything worthwhile!

Hobophobia?
A fear of bums.
I like that!
However according to my ‘text’ books it is actually a fear of travel. So according to them it is not a fear of what the hobo is but of what the hobo does.
Koumpounophobia? I will look that up and see if I can find it.
Have you heard of Hoffophobia?
