I score none on that list. Truth told, the only thing I'm afraid of - at least that I know of - is myself, which is kind of a bad thing...
As Stephen King wrote in one of his books, everything's eventual. Take life as it comes instead of fearing stuff! ;D

I agree with Neko, I am scared of none of these, however if confronted with a tornado/hurricane/killershark/highly poisoness snake, I would indeed be scared at the time, as would most people who haven't ticked those. I am however scare of losing a child or my wife.

I am however scare of losing a child or my wife. I don't honestly think a tornado or hurricane would scare me... I mean, I'd get out of the way, but I'd be moreso fascinated than anything. I think, in future, losing my wife or child would be a frightening thought, but right now I lack either, so I guess it doesn't really apply!

Two really stick out for me..........mice / rats (yikes) and cemeteries (theres something about them that give me the creeps BIG time) You'd love this one cemetery in Luton - we've got this tree in the middle that's been nicknamed 'Devil's Tree', and by fuck is that one weird. It used to be normal, but in one storm it got struck by lightning and split down the middle. It didn't die, though, despite being clearly blackened and charred, and now the two halves are growing upwards again - each has five branches, so it looks like two hands coming up out of the dirt. Further to that, when you stand in its shadow, it always feels icy cold - not just cooler, but genuinely cold, even in the recent weather. It's also got this weird atmosphere around it too - you know how certain places feel friendlier, or make you uneasy or whatever? (Like your 'something about cemeteries' thing) This tree just feels evil - not 'wrong', but outright hostile and hateful. Needless to say, I don't go there very often... (Yes, I've been there before, and yes, I've felt this stuff - believe me or don't, I'm not bothered!)

8, what a shower of poo, who in their right minds is afraid of fooking cotton balls? I'd like to point out I'm not scared of the natural disasters but I've still ticked them. This is because if i saw a tornado coming up my road, I'm sure I'd set the world record for fastest dump ;D This still holds true people, yes the cotton bud thing but more importantly the natural disasters bit. Anyone saying they wouldn't be scared if a tornado was moving up their road (Neko - fascinated my arse) is either a fool or a liar. Who in their right mind is afraid of open spaces?

I'm honestly not joking when I say that. Like I said, I'd get out of the way pretty sharpish - I'm not stupid - but I just don't honestly believe I'd be genuinely scared. I dunno, I might be wrong - can't vouch for it til I've done it, after all - but from what I know of myself, I really wouldn't. And I can actually understand the open spaces fear, having spoken to someone who has agoraphobia (I think that's it) - it gives them a really strong sense of vulnerability, and of everthing being too big and distant to handle. It quick spirals into full-blown panic attacks, in their case, and they don't even know why they got it.

I've never seen a Tornado in person, but I've seen plenty on tele, I've yet to see someone standing in it's path, just watching it out of curiosity. When it's ripping up buildings around you I'd imagine you'd change your mind pretty quick, it's human nature to preserve your own life after all.

Like I said, I wouldn't stay in its way, but I wouldn't exactly be bricking myself either. I'd want to be as close as I dared, so that I could see it in all its glory - it's quite literally an awesome power, and things like that in nature have always fascinated me. As I said, not having been there in person, I wouldn't know, but it's what I expect. After all, I never know when I might see one again!
