She-ninjas?!

Swords & Daggers 

So we'll just have to pass Sword & Dagger Control laws, that'll stop it.

El Reg should be afraid 

as ninjas are plotting their revenge for having lost the chance to fight Chuck Norris...

they just need the lottery tickets and cigarrets to fund their movement

This was the US remember 

Chances are they were 2 juggernaut sized women, looking like the back end of a bus, wearing size 30 black curtains. I know they say the bigger they are the harder they fall but really Bruce, Pirates, Chuck et al would probably just sink in to the rolls of fat.... may the lord have mercy on their souls, they have met their match.

You're just jealous that your postage-stamp sized nation can't grow enough food to feed anyone that well.

Pirate!

@ Morely Dotes 

If by "postage-stamp sized nation" you mean the UK I'll have you know we have plenty of fatties. In your face.

@Morely 

Brilliant comeback ! Although I might have issues with the notion of tank-sized people being "well" fed, I still have a great smile as I type this.

Thanks for lightening the day !

I regret the omission of a certain M. Thatcher from the recent poll on Shaolin Kung-Fu Monks v. Ninjas v. Charles Norris. She'd have given them all a damn good handbagging, after all she crushed the mining industry, Ronnie Reagan and the unions under her dainty size 6 court shoes.

The US were afraid of the UK when Maggie was in charge!

@Bill Fresher 

Sadly true but nothing we should be proud about or admitting in public. And Morely is right that our lardassess don't get to anything like city-shaking size that the US grows 'em to.

I still believe that the original Gojira movies were created after an average Nipponese director had to run in terror from a rampaging Indianapolis roleplayer consuming everything in its path.

Isn't that some sort of Pastafarian armageddon?

Stealing lottery tickets? 

Shurely that's one of the most stupid things to steal... I'm assuming they stole instant-win scratch cards or the like, in which case all the police need to do is take a note of the serial numbers allocated to the shop, and wait for somebody to try to cash in a winner.

Ninjas they may be, brainiacs certainly not.

Ninjas or Burkas? 

Were they really female ninjas, or the ladies wing of the Pennsylvania Al Qaeda branch in standard issue Burkas?

I eagerly await... 

Come on someone has to do it...

I'm off to www.askaninja.com to get his take on it!

I used to know a ninja... 

Well, she said she was studying ninjitsu, and she seemed able to do martial arts stuff, so I wasn't going to argue. And not slender--muscle rather than fat.

The last I heard, she'd married a vicar. There's some church somewhere in England where it would be a seriously bad idea to try to break open the poor-box.

Kunoichi is correct! 

"ninjitsu" is not.

NinjUtsu.

Real Ultimate Power 

1. Ninjas are mammals.

2. Ninjas fight ALL the time.

3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

Joseph Zygnerski

A lot of that going around 

There has also been a "Ninja Burglar" terrorizing New York. He dresses in black, carries nunchuku, and robs homes while people are there.

@NYC Ninja 

Seems rather practical. People will be so busy boggling at the strange attire and weapons that they're unlikely to get a decent look at the *real* people inside the hollywood suits.

And nunchuku, or flails, should be pretty effective in NYC, a city wherein the law-abiding citizens have been largely disarmed by a lengthy series of cowardly politicians.

A Serious Crime.... 

" Chief Robert Amman of the Northern Regional Police Department said: "They were all covered in black and carrying swords, so it did appear that they were dressed like ninjas. Swords, daggers could be used to seriously harm victims, so this is a very serious crime." "

Chief Robert Amman is being very perceptive here. Me thought that swords and daggers are for tickling the toes of the victims.

one wonder if the ninjas be "tasered" or shot "without prejudice"..
