I like ninjas.
I thought that was a nice opening
Ninjas, I think, are awesome. Wearing mostly black, and having immense stealth. To train in the art of the ninja, I think, would be everyone’s dream.
On the internet, specifically in forums, there is a term that you say: “ninja’d”. Which means that someone has posted something the same, or similar to you, just a few seconds before. Thus they have the skills of a ninja, being quick (and deadly?), and making your post redundant.
So far, a notable member that has the skills of a master ninja is Sarah @unclesniece, having successfully ninja’d many users.
I thought we could discuss the topic here, but not just restricted to internet ninjaness, but the art of the ninja in general, and anything black-and-white

Miscellaneous Quotes

Quote from Wikipedia:
Ninja figured prominently in folklore and legend, and as a result it is often difficult to separate historical fact from myth. Some legendary abilities purported to be in the province of ninja training include invisibility, walking on water, and control over the natural elements. As a consequence, their perception in western popular culture in the 20th century was based more on such legend and folklore than on the historical spies of the Sengoku period.
That proves it.
Ninjas are direct descendents of benders from the Avatar world.
