What a Great Quote...

"Fueled by Cannon Films, the '80s was the decade when the ninja entered the homes of most Americans under 12. The GI Joe character and popular toy Snake Eyes was originally a commando but was quickly rebranded as a ninja when Hasbro realized that this would increase his awesomeness by 40 percent. Batman's origin suddenly included ninja training. There were even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who made an awful lot of money for reasons that no one can quite remember anymore." -http://www.slate.com/id/2168936/

Ninja, now with 40% more awesome!

On a side note I'm starting up Aikido next monday. Although it's more a Samurai oriented art (please forgive me, unless you like Feudal Knights, then I'm doing Japan's equivalent... I can't do the Medieval version, people generally don't like you carrying swords in public, and I have no serfs to tell they aren't part of the autonomous collective... though both do wear white quite a bit...).

Scott... now with 40% more awesome! I get to play with swords! (albeit wooden ones)

Are you pondering what I'm pondering Pinky? I think so Brain, but how do you go sledding with a car hood when there's so much hot molten magma around?
