OK, so…in Seattle, this guy that thought he was a Ninja tried to use his special, super-secret Ninja powers to leap over a metal fence and…impaled himself on said fence. A cop heard the guy screaming for help and the Ninja guy ended up in intensive care.

Anyway, the best part of the story is this bit, from the AP

Police spokeswoman Renee Witt wrote in a department website posting that officers thought the man might have been involved in the reported assault, but he insisted he was just a ninja trying to clear a 1.5 metre-tall fence.

Witt says the man was “overconfident in his abilities,” and that alcohol likely played a role.

Yes, yes, yes…merely a case of a Ninja, likely drinking, that was overconfident ih his abilities.

He is not alone; a quick search using the key phrase “drunk ninja” yeilded this entertaining clip.

As always, secretly and silently, click pause on the music player located in the side bar before playing the YouTube.

Well now, here’s something you just don’t see every day. From Yahoo/AP…

A ninja, or at least someone dressed like one, is lurking in the shadows of Palm Beach County.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office says a heavyset man with a visible potbelly and a ninja costume unsuccessfully tried to steal two different ATMs over the past two weeks.

Security video from the automated teller machines showed the unidentified man dressed in a black ninja outfit with a hood that showed only his eyes.

Authorities say the first attempt was made at a bank on Dec. 29 and the second at a Walgreens on Tuesday. Authorities did not say how the man tried to steal the machines.

You know what the best part about that is? The part where it says; “A ninja, or at least someone dressed like one”. They are keeping their options open. It just might be a genuine real ninja waddling around Palm Beach County trying to nick ATMs, not just some wide load in a ninja suit. Like the official, South Florida, ninja dojo that specializes in ATM theft, has no problem with accepting portly aspirants. Maybe it’s some kind of final exam.

Become one with your enemy, you must think like an ATM, Ninja…
