I used to believe that after you ate a steamed lobster, the lobster would still be alive in the leftover body shell. I had a hissy fit in a seafood restaurant when my mother tried to throw the shell away. She had to clean it out for me in the bathroom, and I took it home and even slept with it at night!
Eventually my mom got rid of it (it started to smell), and replaced it with a lobster stuffed animal. It just wasn't the same since I knew THAT wasn't alive...
