Your "Morbid Minute;" more on dead babies wearing other babies' skulls as hats

You may have seen the archeological news item late last year of a macabre funeral find in Ecuador. Some baby graves from around 100 B.C. were unearthed where the babies are apparently wearing the skulls of other babies and children as hats.
