An Anachronism is when something is out of it's correct timeline (such as someone in ben hur wearing a wrist watch, or the genre of "Steampunk") so I think Anachrophobia would be a fear of being out of your own timeline. (and it sounds a bit like Arachnophobia)

It's a sad 'joke' but I liked it.

defined:

1. something or someone that is not in its correct historical or chronological time, esp. a thing or person that belongs to an earlier time: The sword is an anachronism in modern warfare.
2. an error in chronology in which a person, object, event, etc., is assigned a date or period other than the correct one: To assign Michelangelo to the 14th century is an anachronism.

c.1646, "an error in computing time or finding dates," from L. anachronismus, from Gk. anachronismos, from anachronizein "refer to wrong time," from ana- "against" + khronizein "spend time," from khronos "time." Meaning "something out of harmony with the present" first recorded 1816.

I believe there are some wise words about the requirements of jokes needing an in-depth explanation that are appropriate here...

I have signed up, will activate at home because I used a gmail account. (blocked at work - GRRRRR) I don't use my work email address for web stuff. Will vote when I get home.

EDIT : I like them all.

I wanted to start a T-shirt business with wise and profound sayings on them, and also mildly offensive sayings.
