This One's For Stephen

A slate.com story I found on MSN this afternoon:

The State of the Ninja

And in case you don't have time to read the full story, or just don't care, here's the best quote:

"The Israeli affinity for ninjas makes sense when you consider that ninjas are basically supercool Jews. Both practice esoteric traditions that must be kept pure or they'll lose their power, both wear black outfits, and both can destroy much larger and more numerous opponents. The main difference is that while observant Jews spend a lot of time praying, observant ninjas spend a lot of time hiding and killing people."

And observant bloggers spend a lot of time finding funny stories online and passing them on to friends.

This post is so getting passed onto IHOP's resident ninja...who happens to be a messianic Jew.

Haha, this is hilarious. I've never thought about it that way. Then again, I'm not Jewish.

This is amazing! It's funny how the paragraph which you quoted was the one that I read my mom before I read your post. I love it!

p.s. This marks my re-entry into the blogging sphere!
