I once saw a TV programme when I was younger, about aliens abducting humans. One guy on this programme said that he was abducted and had his legs spread by the aliens so that they could do experiemnts on him.
From that day on I could only get to sleep if i had my legs touching together so that the aliens could not get in between them! Even if I remember this nowadays when I am in bed, I still make my legs touch each other before I can go to sleep...and I'm 21 now! hehe
