This is also the guy who is responsible for creating those Tux the penguin vinyl toys that you can get on places like think geek. They sell lots of them here.

Moses kept ten in his beard - one for each commandment.
Jesus' crown of thorns was actually made from the discarded toothpicks of Roman soldiers.
Henry VIII once lost an entire roasted chicken in his beard.
Napoleon used to insert toothpicks in his chest hair, which is why he kept one hand inside his shirt - it kept the toothpicks from pressing too hard into his skin.
It wasn't until the roaring 20's that the fad caught on, and it still continues as a popular tradition among the Amish community today.
See? It's a medical condition!
"Are you finding yourself constantly afraid of X? Does your fear of X negatively impact your life? You may have a clinical case of chi-phobia, and our service can help you overcome your fear of X"
But the template must have been near completely unsupervised using whatever was the largest list they could find, as it included all sorts of joke phobias with the same dead serious pitch. "Does your fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth interfere with your performance at work?" "Does the fear somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you impact your romantic relationship?" "Did your fear of palindromes leave you traumatized as a child?"
Sesquipedalian (literally "foot and a half long-ish") is already a silly construct, but to say that "River Horse Monster Foot and a Half Longish Fear" makes any medical sense is ridiculous. Technical medical terms are meant to clarify, not obfuscate.
One is reminded of all those idiotic lists of animal lists claiming a "crash of rhinos" or a "mask of raccoons". The kind of crap written by a puddle of douche bags.
