Art, this is almost too easy, but....I think we will teach otters to eat
chicken about the same time pigs fly!  Oh, wait a minute, wasn't there a
report of such an event?

And for the shell business.  I just read where Arca can  attach themselves
by their byssus within minutes.  Does this mean (as it sounded) that they
can actually unattach, move, and reattach?
