Fear of fish footballer Paolo Di Canio describes finding that his then team-mate, Peter Grant suffered from ichthyophobia. During a practical joke, Di Canio describes Grant's fearful reaction after finding a salmon head in his bed. Grant told "The Independent" that item in his bed was in fact a "shark's head" and "to say I got a fright when I put my feet between the sheets is an understatement." The term "ichthyophobia" comes from the Greek ἰχθῦς - "ichthus", meaning "fish" and φόβος - "phobos", "fear". "Galeophobia" comes from the Greek γαλεός - "galeos", "small shark".

Irrational number can never be expressed as a quotient of integers "m"/"n" with "n" ≠ 0. Cases such as log 2 can be treated similarly. Almost all irrational numbers are transcendental and all real transcendental numbers are irrational (there are also complex transcendental numbers): the article on transcendental numbers lists several examples. So "e" and π are irrational for all nonzero rational "r", and, e.g., "e" is irrational, too. Irrational numbers can also be found within the countable set of real algebraic numbers (essentially defined as the real roots of polynomials with integer coefficients), i.e., as real solutions of polynomial equations where
