Yes,
I don't know whether its just ingrained in me but I feel very uncomfortable sitting in a car without a seatbelt on to the point where I will wear one even if the vehicle is stationary.

Alt. Those dolls that are designed to help women who have had stillborn children. Fucking creepy as fuck. Also, those women that use them.

One of my friends is a model maker, and when she was at University she went to help out on the set of Casualty.
The props department has a room full of fake babies from new borns up to 5 year olds, all in their own little wooden boxes, with windows so you could see the faces.
She showed me a few pictures, it really looked like a room full of dead children.
