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 rotation Irrational rotation In the mathematical theory of dynamical systems, an irrational rotation is a map where "θ" is an irrational number. Under the identification of a circle with R/Z, or with the interval [0, 1] with the boundary points glued together, this map becomes a rotation of a circle by a proportion "θ" of a full revolution (i.e., an angle of 2"πθ" radians). Since "θ" is irrational, the rotation has infinite order in the circle group and the map "T" has no periodic orbits. Alternatively, we can use multiplicative notation for an irrational rotation by introducing the map The relationship
