A half grown kitten showed up at my place a few months ago. She was all black.
My Grandson said I should name her “The Shadow Ninja”. I guess because she was black. After a couple of months she just disappeared as suddenly as she appeared.

“Using weapons such as shuriken, a sharpened star-shaped projectile, and the fukiya blowpipe, they were silent but deadly.”
I’m often silent but deadly - a bit of a ninja my own self, or so I’m told.

I’ve actually been to the Iga-Ryu ninja museum. Looks like the BBC had a really lame news day to be reporting this. The Iga-Ryu museum was lame when I went there in 2001.

Possible my dog is a ninja.I have a ninja dog. All black. Utterly silent. Skulks through the shadows when you are not looking. Never where you expect him or remember him being. Could steal the stake off your dinner plate and you would never know it was gone except for the vague feeling that you were still hungry. Sometimes he steels stuff and then brings it back and dumps it in front of me to prove his skills are intact.
Sort of a reminder to be afraid. Be very afraid.

Japan's ninjas heading for extinction Got a ninja in my neighborhood, not Japanese though. A mentally challenged young man 23 years old and his ninja costume is his favorite.
I've been meaning to ask him if he wants to go to Sunday School and church with us but haven't seen him lately. Which brings up another question which I need to ask my Pastor about. What class will he be in, he has the mental ability of an 8-10 year old and I doubt that he would get a thing out of adult S.S. or adult church. We have children's church, he probably would like that better.
