WTF is up with Ninjas?

Day 58: I'm a Ninja, that's why you can't see me., originally uploaded by dommi.

I don't get why everyone is so obsessed with ninjas now! The other day someone told me that the huge scrape on his face was caused by jumping off a couch doing ninja moves! WTF! I read up on ninjas to try and understand their appeal. To sum it up, they are basically CIA agents from 14th century Japan.

Big deal.
