Anatidaephobia — the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you

Hands up if you had duck instead of the traditional turkey for Christmas this year. Well, it's payback time now. The ducks are out to get you. The discussion board consists mostly of the type of fun threads this type of group usually attracts, ranging from 'Ducks WILL take over the world!!!' to 'Duck Jokes' to 'Scariest Species of Duck?' to the classic 'the last person to comment this topic wins!!!' In the gallery you will find over 500 images, some totally irrelevant to the theme, while there are plenty of pictures of real ducks, photoshopped pictures of imaginary ducks and duck jokes, including the Far Side cartoon that inspired the group's creation in the first place. There are also links to a few duck videos.

What's great about this group: it's still the silly season - don't hesitate to join in.

Update (25 April 2024)
There are several groups with this name. The largest has 2.2k members, and is still fairly active. It can be found here
