RIGHT NOW Mythbusters is doing another Ninja myths episode

[SimonM]

After their robot ninja hands failed to catch the robot sword even after perfecting the timing mechanism they gave the "ninja black-belt" a go. But did they put him up against the robot? Nooooo! Instead they gave him partial gauntlets and then put a blunted sword into the hands of the girl (whose name I don't recall) who could barely lift the **** thing, let alone wield it, from the looks of her performance. Needless to say mr ninja managed to catch the blunted sword one-handed without harm.

I cry foul!


Foul I say!

Foul!

Bah, a True ninja would have caught the sword in his teeth, used it to strip the girl naked and used his "tanto" on her in all sorts of shinobieske ways !!

Bad Sanjuro Ronin.

I would have expected you to illustrate your point with a picture.

If memory serves, that was the first ninja episode - the one where they messed up my name in the credits (see 2007: Year of the Ninja? thread starting at post #7). The second episode was the one with Anthony Kelly. I only saw the Kelly portion of that one.

Have there been more?

a real ninja would have teleported out of the way of the sword and then stripped the girl butt naked just by thinking about it.

The episode may have been a repeat... it ended with... Adam?... walking on "water" by blending an ungodly amount of cornstarch and blue food colouring into it.
