Fun fact: When I briefly worked in a funeral home, I learned that dead people just chilling on a table will sometimes look like they're breathing. I'm not talking about actual movement, like fluids settling in the body or anything like that. It's a sort of optical illusion. I guess the brain is used to seeing people breathing so it fills in the blanks. I experienced this illusion myself and so did others working there.
...how many whacks with shovel it took to make sure it was an illusion?
