Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom. Butch Hartman does.
Danny, Sam, and Tucker were resting peacefully in Sam's theater. The movie was over, and for once they had managed to make it all the way through without any interruptions from ghosts.
"Did you know that honeybees can fly upwards fifteen miles per hour?" Danny said, breaking the silence.
"Really?" Sam asked. Tucker just made a faint sound of acknowledgment to the random fact.
"Yeah," Danny said. "Also, if you gave 150 pounds of honey to a honeybee, the bee would have enough energy to make thirteen round trips to the moon!"
"You only memorized that fact because it mentioned the moon," Tucker accused him.
Danny grinned but didn't deny it.
"Where did you learn this?" asked Sam.
"Coffee shop my parents dragged us to," Danny said, shrugging. "The shop had TVs scrolling through stuff about upcoming events like poetry slams, parties, and other things like that, along with what time the shop closed and when they were off for holidays. In between the announcements they had random facts."
"And you remember these facts…why?" Tucker asked. Danny shrugged again.
"What else did you learn?" Sam questioned, always eager to learn new things about organisms or nature in general.
"Well…bees can see all the colors humans can except for red," Danny offered.
"Bummer," Tucker mused. "That means you can't taunt bees the same way you do bulls."
"Andale, andale," Danny said dryly. "But it's not really the color, just the movement of the cape."
"Oh, who cares?" Tucker moaned. "You knew what I was talking about."
"So you just filed this info into your head and randomly recalled it now?" Sam asked, interrupting them.
Danny nodded.
"I don't see why you don't do that at school," she muttered.
Danny smiled. "Too much effort," he said, yawning.
A/N: Yes, that last bit was a Shikamaru reference. Danny really is smart, he just doesn't have any time to study or do his homework. Also, random facts make a somewhat interesting fic that you actually learn something from.
