I think it’s probably safe to call it “Turtle Socks.” I don’t think we’ll be needing that name for anything else.

The difference is that sharks continually replace their teeth.

“New teeth are continually grown in a groove in the shark’s mouth and the skin acts as a “conveyor belt” to move the teeth forward into new positions. Sharks’ specialized teeth have allowed sharks to develop a very strong jaw. Without the ability to quickly replace teeth, a shark’s jaw could not have developed as powerful of a bite. The number of teeth they routinely lose while catching prey would outweigh the quick-kill benefits of their crushing jaw strength.”

how does a somniphobic ease themselves?

Oh yeah? Let’s see you try and eat a live shark, human!

They say human bites are just as deadly as any animal bite.

I know a guy who induces somniphobia. His name’s Freddie.

The Red Sox should start growing some of those pitcher plants in their bullpen. They can’t be any worse than their pitching staff is this year.

If your waking self has somniphobia, and your sleeping self dreams you have expergefaciphobia… you’re really in a fix.

I really like that moonlight panel!

Slight difference in sharpness, though…

What’s the opposite of “somniphobia”? Because I’m pretty sure I have that.

BitornoPhobia is fear of liking a Ripley factoid.

I have whatever the opposite of somniphobia is. I love sleeping soooo much.

Nightmare On Elm Street

GNASHH!!!

My teenager has Alertaphobia – a fear of staying awake…

so is insomniphobia the fear of not falling asleep?
