I've seen these guys. Some of them don't look like they do much "work".

I probably just insulted a lot of hard working people. My insultator is working overtime today.

Common knowledge, once hired with the government, no one works. They actually pose "not working", just to piss off those unable to get hired by the government.

Yes it does, and a laser pointer isn't stopped by window glass either.

A neighbor has a minpin dog who used to lie in and roll around in fire ant hills. And would also eat them. Maybe similar idea? Or possibly the short-dense hair of her coat wouldn't let ants bite and it was just something to do?

We had a plant in our yard that produced a little red berry. Inedible to humans but the birds would gobble them up and get drunk after fermentation of the fruit. The tipsy birds would fly into windows or pass out in a drunken stupor around the yard.

Back in Edgar Allen Poe's time, he and his contemporaries used to write horror stories about this very topic.

A lot of people were terrified of that happening to them back then.  There was even a brisk trade in "safety coffins" that had air tubes and bells that could be rung by the not deceased to alert people that a terrible mistake had been made.  Ideally, if they hadn't complete jerks to their neighbors, someone would come and dig them out.

A girl who I dated in high school had a grand mother who died only to re-animate a day or two later in the morgue. She lived another 17 years.

Lucky for us, because if our relative sizes were reversed, they would kill us and eat us without a second thought.  And I can say that, because I'm a lifelong cat person.
