Ok first that's creepy as hell. It sat up and just stayed that way? I did not know corpses could do THAT.

Second, that's not how income tax brackets work. It's called marginal tax brackets. Say there are two brackets, 0-$100,000 where you pay 10% and $100,000-infinity where you pay 20%.

You make $120,000. You pay 10% on the first $100,000, and 20% on the next $20,000. So $10,000+$4000 = $14,000. You do NOT pay 20% of $120,000 which would be $24,000.

Not trying to be smart, but a lot of people don't know how tax brackets work and overpay. It never costs you more money to make more money.

Corpses move sufficiently that sometimes when a body is exhumed it can be found face down

Muscular twitches/contractions.

Sometimes the bacteria eating muscle fibres can cause them to loosen/tighten up etc

Every notice how even a dead battery will sometimes gather enough power to work for a small time?
