"Those are cranberries?" What's even weirder is seeing a tractor going through water like that... he stares at the picture for a moment, halfway because it's interesting but halfway because he's wracking his brain for an interesting fact to top that. He'd just learned about pencil lead and diamonds... but Yoshio might know that one, too.

It turns out to be a little harder to generate an interesting fact on the spot than he'd initially thought, but he comes up with something fast enough. "Weird. Hey- did you know that volcanoes can make lightning?"

Please don't know that one, Yoshio. But he's already spinning for other things related to lighting. He did a report on this one a year ago, he's got some ammunition there. Especially since he got curious and ended up wasting hours on wikipedia... There's ball lightning. There's st. elmo's fire. He can run with that tangent until he links a few more. As long as he keeps thinking constantly for something else, he isn't going to be caught flatfooted again.
