I Am A Cenosillicaphobiac

I didn't know it before today, but I have cenesillicaphobia, and this is no April Fool joke.  I guess in the spirit of truthfulness, I have to admit  that I knew I had the "affliction," I just didn't know what it was called, or that it had a name, period, for that matter.  I have had frequent flare-ups, the most recent being during Sunday's hoops games.  Frequent flare-ups would be an understatement as I have had to deal with this "malady" practically every day.

Fortunately, there is an over the counter cure, although it is not covered by any insurance that I know of.  Yes today I admit to all that I am indeed a cenosillicaphobiac...I have a fear of an empty beer glass.  Seriously, this is the name for this "fear." I have to believe this was named by someone who was not being victimized at the time by the empty glass and had way too much time on their hands.

This is just one fact you probably didn't know about your favorite beverage.  There are more.  For instance, there is beer that has spit for an ingredient, and beer makes you smarter.  Check out these 24 facts you probably didn't know about beer.
