- What Would Gutenberg Do?
>I don't understand what this has to do with a Distinguished Service Medal…
>DSM-IV. I go feex.
>I spent a few happy moments simply trying to figure out how to pronounce that.
>I am arachnophobic to a degree, but they actually listed a LACK of a fear of spiders as an actual illness? Who wrote this, the U.S. Congress??
>No, no, Joseph, it;s the fear of not having spiders, not the lack of a fear of spiders. And it's not in the DSM-IV. Not yeat, anyway.
