Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg might cage fight each other.

How? Why? Are we in a simulation?

It all started when Elon responded to a tweet about Facebook's plans to release a Twitter competitor with: "I'm sure Earth can't wait to be exclusively under Zuck's thumb..."

Someone replied that Musk should watch out because Zuck does jiu-jitsu now and Musk quipped back: "I'm up for a cage match if he is lol."

"Send me location," Zuck replied. What a time to be alive...

Orcas - also known as killer whales - have been damaging and sinking boats off the coast of Spain and Portugal for weeks now.

Over a dozen whales are involved, which suggests the combatants have organized a small army and are teaching each other how to bring down vessels.

No one knows why this is happening and the internet is freaking out about it.

Leading theories include:

1. A female in the pod known as "White Gladis" and her posse may be exacting revenge for an injury gleaned from a boat rudder.
2. They're simply playing around. Most orcas in the pack are juveniles and juveniles like to have fun.
3. Orcas really enjoy the feeling of the water currents and bubbles from a moving boat's rudders and propellers. When boats stop, orcas get frustrated and lash out.

But here's the simplest, and perhaps most bizarre, take: it's simply a fad, just like the 1987 "salmon hat wearing fad" where an orca off the coast of Seattle began wearing a salmon over its nose and then 70+ orcas quickly followed suit. Can't make this stuff up!

Sometimes we forget just how smart these creatures are - orcas have an IQ similar to that of a 15-16 year old human and have robust cultural practices amongst themselves.

So there...now you have a rabbit hole good for at least three hours of reckless Googling.

Do you have trouble falling asleep? And are you one of those people who always wanted to get into meditation but never did.

Well boy do I have a wildly simplistic hack for YOU!

Learn the basics of meditation via basic research or an app like Headspace and then simply start meditating when you're in bed at night.

It's a total win-win. At a minimum you get a great meditation session in during a time you'd otherwise be stressfully staring at the wall. And/or you'll pass out while you're meditating.

1. Every big city has had a point in its history where there was only 1 high-rise in the entire city and it must’ve looked super awkward.
2. It’s a good thing we can’t hear our eyeballs move inside their sockets.
3. Paper cuts will become increasingly less common in the future.
4. Most awkward people are only awkward because they are so concerned about being awkward that they become awkward.
5. Your accent is your voice's font.
