[edit] Removed "Aeriaprimataphobia"
This is cute, but unreferenced, and only 7 google hits, and sounds fabricated. Ethan Mitchell 02:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- A relatively uncommon phobia, Aeriaprimataphobia is the fear of primates that can fly. In extreme cases the victim of this condition fears any form of descending monkeys. In one severe case a young man from South America was terrified of the flying squirrels of the area and was incapable of watching Animal Planet due to seeing a show on lemurs. The fear of flying monkeys is sometimes mistaken for fear of a person's hallucinations. Any case in which the monkeys are not material is not considered part of Aeriaprimataphobia.
[edit] McFarlane toy removed
I've removed the following:
- In Todd McFarlane's action figure line "The Twisted Land of Oz," two flying monkey action figures (with a bloated Munchkin) are available as part of the "Collector's Club." According to the accompanying story, they are the Wizard's minions, transformed into steampunk cyborgs due to "Ozmic power."
I don't think that this toy line is sufficiently notable to merit inclusion in the article for flying monkeys, and have already asked if there are any objections at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oz and Talk:McFarlane Toys. If anyone has evidence that this toy line and its accompanying story were particularly noteworthy (e.g. coverage in mainstream media), it can be restored. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:57, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
