The Attempt of the Ninjas

<<< Previous Entry: The Attempt Of The Explorers | This Month's entries | Next Entry: The Attempt To Sail Ships While Retaining That Ninja Cool >>

It's a little known fact but there are many many people who have attempted to become a ninja and failed miserably. This shouldn't be surprising as being a ninja is a very tricky business, as my copy of the much fabled 'how to be a ninja' one page tome reads:

'becoming a ninja is damn hard, can you fall out of the sky like a leaf on the wind before impaling your sword into the very heart of fear itself? No? I thought not. And you never will either so give up now'.

Many fail in the basic ninja initiation tests of 'being really really silent', 'killing people with your mind', 'staring death in the face till it does your bidding' and 'looking good in black', but some fail at a later stage under conditions that no-one has ever described adequately (or at all, seeing as everyone who failed at the later stage was found some weeks after without a head or, rather curiously, their third toe).

What became of this failed ninjas? As there was no honour or comfort to be find at home they looked for a way out to freedom. With the news of new continents to explore many banded together, hired boats and proceeded to head out East to the new lands, to seek fame, fortune and possibly gold.

wait... was the last post a means of VERY tenuously linking to ninjas?

It'll make sense tomorrow. Trust me, this history is a secret dark art that takes weeks of learning, giving it to you all in a week is simply unheard of. Or something.

Two of the major skills that we have decided ninjas must have (we talk extensively about the subject regularly) are:

The ability to serve food

and

Ventriloquism.

There are some long winded reasons behind those but I tire of explaining.
