ONE 18-HOUR FLIGHT LATER...

SOLOMON: We made it! Honshu was the right island to fly to. Just look at that Tokyo skyline!

MCGURK: Thank goodness. I must say, I've never watched 36 back-to-back episodes of the Japanese anime cartoon "Super Sumo" before. Is all that stuff true about them?

SOLOMON: It is true that sumo is thousands of years old. It is also true that the rikishi — the wrestlers — are the largest of all athletes. The heaviest one was almost 600 pounds!

MCGURK: But how about their ability to read minds, fly through the air, and always have the wind blowing their hair?

SOLOMON: Uh... no.
