3. Beetles Die During Sex with Beer Bottles
The sight of a beetle having attempting to mate with a bottle may be funny to any outside observer, but it's fatal for these little insects.
Male Australian jewel beetles can't tell the different between the smooth, brown, dimpled surface at the bottom of a beer bottle and a female of their species.
It's not the attraction, but rather the persistence that kills the males as they fruitlessly endeavor to consummate the union and overheat under the sun in their effort.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
