October 25, 2009 Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13, and while it may seem silly to some then we discover friggatriskaidekaphobia which is fear of Friday the 13th.

4. Size Matters - More to Men September 30, 2009 Sigmund Freud, the father of Psychiatry, said that men had a sexual thought consciously or subconsciously every 3 seconds. He timed it like a racehorse when he wasn’t busy having sexual relations with his mother. Psychiatrists go to school for 22 years, subject themselves to years of Psychotherapy, then sit while you ramble and beg for advice for 45 minutes, only to say at the end, “What do you think? I’m afraid our time is up for this week.” You could go insane merely from their torture tactics. Obviously penis size matters to a woman. Penises range in size from 1’ to 14” on men. The longe...

8. Things You Need to Know About Fighting Dogs September 24, 2009 Fighting dogs are the ones that cause their owners the most worry. It is this vice that many owners hope a psychiatrist will be able to probe and cure, but since this is the process of investigating into the past of the dog's mind, which cannot be probed because the dog cannot answer questions, no progress can be made with psychiatry. We don't know which motive fits each individual case. What we do know is that dogs pretend to fight in play, mauling each other in a rough and tumble which nobody minds. Puppies have mock fights all the time to strengthen their limbs and develop their jaws a... (read more) Author: Lamar Deane

Cruise, an avid Scientologist, believes that all forms of psychiatry and drug treatment for mental illness are wrong.
