2. Fit the ideas topics into one of these titles:

What [A] Has in Common With [B]
How [A] Affects [B]
What if [B] Were More Like [A]
3. Flesh it out!
All that's left is to ponder it a while and you should have plenty of subject matter for a 15-minute lunch talk. You might want to come up with a catchier title while you're at it ;)
It might be helpful to take a look at the presentation
guide
as well.
