Well, that answers the age old question I guess. Ninjas are still alive and active, while cowboys and pirates have pretty much gone the way of the dodo. Ninjas win by default <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    One time this ninja was eating on a train, and some guy dropped a spoon, and the ninja derailed the whole train!

    Personally I think the most awesome part of the discovery of Congolese ninjas is thus:

    Yes, I may now die of ninja assassination at age 76.

    Just typing it makes me gurgle with joy.

    Hey, did you hear about it then?

    And I must correct myself, apparently pirates are still in the running. (as of 1997, but you know what, I dont care)

    There are still quite a few real cowboys & pirates in this world. However real Ninjas are a rarity.

    A few facts:
    Ninjas are cool.
    Ninjas that attack trains carrying medical supplies ARE NOT COOL. - They are thusly not worthy of being called "ninjas".

    Get a grip people, please <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    What do you expect ninjas to do? They're spies and assassins, not noble warriors.

Ninjas were the Japanese feudal age's Special Forces (assassins\commandos\spies\thieves). They didn't represent a code of honour or some other noble cause, and it wasn't a status to be earned. Certainly no <i>kage bushin no jutstu</i>, either...

    But yeah. Either way, you're right; these people suck.

    Skorpion's right, ninjas followed no code that I know of, you're thinking of samurai. Just because ninjas did unspeakable acts of violence against people thousands of years ago opposed to yesterday doesnt take away the fact that I would not want to hang out with one. The same goes with pirates, only ten-fold.

    Anyone who wears black garbs, attacks and derails a train, then dissapears into the night is a worthy ninja.

    Incorrect. Ninjas follow a simple code, and that is to flip out and kill people at every chance they get.
  • BloodySlothBloodySloth Join Date: 2003-08-27 Member: 20284Members
    Of course! How could I be so silly.

    If pirates had robbed that train you can bet they wouldn't have taken enything as useless as medical supplies. Medical supplies have no use for a pirate, if they ever get sick they just cut off whatever limb happens to be the source of the disease. Pirates are awesome. Trees are tall.
