What's better than to celebrate a sad 10.000 posts on sciforums then to start (again) a ninja vs pirate thread (I mean if all that pseudoscience mumbo jumbo is allowed in normal threads why not talk scienterrifically about pirates and ninjas?). I used to think Pirates are awesome and cool dudes and ninjas were homofaggot pyamaboys. But some new evidence has come to me: http://www.realultimatepower.net/index4.htm I don't want to post the best of the site (read that yourself) but I feel I have to quote something: Q: I heard that ninjas are always cruel or mean. What's their problem? A: Whoever told you that is a total liar. Just like other mammals, ninjas can be mean OR totally awesome. Well, maybe I have to change my avatar after all.. (yes, totally ripped off from zug)
I think superiority totally depends on what kind of ninja, and what kind of pirate. Pirates: If you're talking about the old school "Arr Matey" rum drinking pirates, then ninjas definately win hands down. If you mean pirate like the newfangled RPG toting Somoli pirates, then ninjas don't stand a chance. Ninjas: As far as ninjas go, there is the normal real life ninja (weren't they originally just pissed off farmers? correct me if I'm wrong) and the movie ninja. The real life ninja would stand a chance of winning assuming the pirate isn't packing a gun. The movie ninja however has the ability to climb walls, spontaneously vanish in little puffs of smoke, and throw shuruken (sp) faster and more accurate than normal people can draw/fire a gun.
Yaar harr harr! But them ninja's don't have a whole day dedicated to speaking like a pirate, do they? www.talklikeapirate.com
happy 10,000 spurious i don't know, pirates kinda live a romantic life don't you think? on the open sea visiting all sorts of neat places, all the naked women. sounds good to me !
Arrrr me maties, Ninjas are just wannabe pirates dressed in black who are afraid of the water and because of that never was allowed to become fully flesh pirates, and so started to age old hatred between pirates and ninjas.
Hypothetical situation: You are on a cruise on the sea. You see a boat approaching with phillipine pirates. You shit yourself. You are on a cruise on the sea. You see a ninja from the corners of your vision. You think, that kid is playing 'dressing up like a gay ninja' again. So maybe a pirate is more of a visceral threat?
If I were in some Tai jungles I'd be a lot more concerned seeing a ninja rather than someone who looks like a lost pirate.
Ninjas would win. They are highly oraganized and trained in fighting. Pirates on the other hand are drunk and use two shot pistols.
I would have to say that ninjas are better, but the flying spaghetti monster would protect pirates (atheist joke =] )
Ah, but let us look at real life statistics; http://globalization.about.com/library/weekly/aa031203a.htm Modern Pirates Thrive on Global Trade Pirates are making a comeback! What happened to ninjas? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
But, ninjas can kill them before they relize it. Pirates now a days use machine guns and basic hand to hand combat, no match for ninjas. Besides ninjas hold secrets to killing enemys like them with deception.
