And.. Wasps arent going to die after they sting you. Same with Bumble-bees. Only honey bees do that.

Rest easy :)

I don't have a fear of heights, but I have a fear of flying. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I don't trust airplane mechanics to do their job to the highest degree possible, and the fact that I would be completely helpless if anything went wrong.

I also have a fear of bees, wasps, hornets, or any other stinging insect. Wasps in particular, because they'll sting the shit out of you just for looking at them funny. Bastards!

did you know that modern aeroplanes are glued together..... the wings are held on to the fuesalage with incredibly stong glue that forms a bond, which is stronger than the actual plane material.

frightening stuff eh??

;)

I dont think so. i used to work in a wood shop, and glue and "liquid nails" do a much better job of holding things together than nails. Glue and screws would be the strongest thing around.

At least they dont use tape :D

American Airlines had two of their planes grounded because of the use of duct tape.

No, I'm not shitting you.

My dad was an Aircraft mechanic while he was in the airforce. When we lived in washington, he was a crew chief for B-52 Gs. They had one that HAD to fly a mission, even though a flock of geese had smashed into it's verticle stabilizer. they patched a basketball sized hole with duct tape and it flew another 10 missions before they were able to properly fix.


Gotta love the military. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it. if it is broke, use duct tape.":)

reminds me of a quote from armageddon

Rockhound: "You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?"

Wow! my dad did his apprenticeship with the Royal Air Force and then went on to be a Filght Mechanic and Engineer.

Heights. If I swung to high in a swing, my body just lets go of its grip and I went flying out. All fun till you hit the ground.

Spiders. I just hate them.

Eyes. They creep me out. Just the though of aliens big pure black eyes in real life starring at me gives me shivers.

Ghosts. Can't feel safe taking a bath or shower. They may be some sick gay dude ghost watching me. Eww. But if it was a female ghost... hmmm. :D

Water that isn't clean enough to see the bottom of. Who knows what down there ready to get you... [Jaws music starts to play]. That and I'm not good at swimming... I saw, sink to the bottom and run to the shore. Works for me.
