Wow, am I ever glad that I didn’t go for a grad degree! Of course, you could say that was involuntary on my part, although entirely arbitrary and in my opinion uncalled for on the part of the five institutions of higher learning which I attended.
Perhaps I should become a ninja? I found the hat:

Rain,
You’d make a great ninja, but I think you’d make a better pirate…You seem to have the gusto, bravado, and all that down.

Those whacky ninjas on unicycles. Every time you turn around….
Now I know why Herbert Spencer waited until he was nearly 35 to earn his PhD. He must have been afraid tall soldiers (the Ninjas and Pirates of Germany) would come and arrest him.
Famous academics involved on the wrong end of duels: Karl Marx, Ernest Galois, and Archimedes. As I recall Marx received a cut on the face during a (probably drunken) sword duel in a bar when he was 20. Galois, that great 19th century mathematician, died at 21 in a pistol duel over a woman. And it is said that Archimedes was slain by a hotheaded solider during the sack of Syracuse. His last words supposedly were “don’t interrupt my circles.”
And then they did. Ninjas are notorious Pythagoreans!
ooooohhh…modern ninja garb! For some reason this got me thinking of the weird intro to “The Shogun Assassin”
Back in my rap phase, Wutang Clan used to feature some of these scenes in their songs (“choose the sword and you join me…”)
have you visited renalfailure recently? I sent him an image of a ninja banned from motorbike riding for his character art competition….
But it was a ninja with a MACHETE! Maybe ninjas with throwing stars are still allowed to ride bikes? I think we need another sign.
I don’t think I could trust you with throwing stars either
Damn! And I just bought this hat with bunny ears to store them in!
I would steal this if it would fit on my blog! Not that you will be around to complain – with those floppy ears you are surely on a Bunny Suicide Trip!
Hmmmm – Ninja Bunny Suicides – could be a whole new scene.
But if a ninja bunny DID commit suicide, nobody would ever see it, so who would do the cartoon?
One of the most common questions asked during an oral defense of a thesis is: How many 5-year-olds can you take in a fight?

Sorry, about the previous link. Here’s the real 5-year-old ass-kicking link:

I think I’ve seen that before. My number was 12 if memory serves. But if I were a ninja, it would be much higher!
How many shuriken-wielding, unicycle-riding ninjas can you take on in a fight, though? Someone needs to make that quiz!
I think the unicycle riding kinda negates the fact that they’re ninjas. That they could be Machete wielding Pythagoreans, well, that starts to get unnerving. And if they’re actually bunnies…Scary.
Maybe it’s a handicapping system?
Anyway, now what am I gonna do with this hat?
I dunno — I’ll ask Harvey if he has any ideas…
hee hee, love the hat.
Until the vegan moves out, I’m using it to store my sausages. Worst comes to wurst!
