OK, here's a random one: Did Sigmund Freud, who was born on this date in 1856, have a morbid fear of: (a) chiggers; (b) short women; or (c) ferns?
Good luck :)

I'll go with a because I don't know what a chigger is, but it sounds scary. Also, what exactly is a Crepe Suzette?
I'm going to guess ferns.
I don't know what a chigger is either but it sounds vaguely inappropriate in some way :)
Well, that makes three of us. What's a chigger? Is it a cross between a chip and Tigger?
I'm going to guess he was a-Freud of short women.
Freud was afraid of ferns apparently, but who knows what he would have read into that!
So, I'm the only one here who's dealt with chiggers, then? So, chiggers are these little bugs that live in the grass, and they bite into your body and bite your skin from the inside. The way you get rid of them is by sealing up the bites, which are their air holes, and then they suffocate. I got them while camping in a neighbor's back yard. I am not a fan :)
Laine, Crepe Suzette is a dessert that is somehow set on fire, but I don't know the specifics. I'm pretty sure you put out the fire before eating ;)
Kim, you continue your streak!
JD, very funny! Alas, Freud was not "a-freud" of short women!
I have to say I'm kind of glad I've never had occasion to find out about chiggers :)
ok, I knew that a chigger was some kind of bug, but one that crawls inside and eats you from the inside?? that's just gross. Rob, I never knew your insides were full of dead chiggers!
