Ask a Ninja

The copy at Blogwatch in Newsweek magazine notes: “In feudal Japan, the ninja were known as fearsome assassins.”

Now some ninja have apparently emerged from the shadows, so to speak, to take questions via a parody website called Ask a Ninja.

One sample question went like this: “Can a ninja catch a cold?”

Looks like fun.

    Who are these guys?

    Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine make up the heart and soul of the site and they’re just a couple guys in LA who dig comedy. The Ninja is the Ninja, and works closely with Douglas and Kent.

    by the way, when you write to the Ninja with your question, this is the answer you will receive by return automail:

    The Ninja will read your question carefully and then decide whether or
    not it’s interesting and funny.

    If it is, he’ll answer it and look forward to killing you soon.

    If it isn’t, he’ll still kill you, but he won’t enjoy it.

    In the mean time, please go to http://askaninja.com and connect with
    your fellow ninjas and pirates.

    Thanks again!

    Ninjas rule. What dude growing up with an interest in martial arts didn’t want to dress up like one, via asian world of martial arts.

    Haa, good old AWMA. I bought so much junk there over the years. Heh, the memories.. :mrgreen:

    These guys better watch it tho, the real thing is currently travelling the world stealthily, might not be a good idea to mock ninja right now.
