   Orca: It’s cute!
   Scientists: It may be so that they can snack on it later.
   Orca: It’s cute!
   Scientists: We may never solve this inexplicable behavior.

     It's not just orcas. I saw someone wearing flares and platform soles last week!
     Remember, keep all your old clothes if you can, they're bound to be the height of fashion again.
     Perhaps don't keep your salmon though.
