I'm not sure if you all are aware of the debate circulating in the most elucidated of academic circles; the debate that has the greatest minds of our time struggling with the very fabric of reality in order to attain that precious truth; the question for all ages: What is the most awesome creature ever to walk the face of the Earth? Ninja or Samurai?
At times, people have tried to interject other so-called "awesome creatures" into the mix. Dinosaurs were contemplated for a time--- then I reminded everyone that dinosaur bones were actually planted by God to test our faith in Him (Yea Verily, Ad Majorium Glorium Deus,Clatu Veratu Nictu, blah, blah, blah) and thus could not be considered for the title of "Most awesome creature ever to walk the face of the Earth" as they never truly existed. Occasionally, one group would claim victory over another; hoping that if enough people believed the false claims, they would turn into a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. Kind of like that dude from Iraq that kept saying the US army hadn't yet penetrated into Bagdad and that Iraq's victory was imminent, even though statues were toppling to the ground behind him, and US soldiers were putting holes into everything that moved.
Moving on, during my sojourns into the annals of history (that sounds kinda sexual, doesn't it) I stumbled upon the great William Blake's personal journals and discovered a terrifying secret: William Blake was a ninja. My evidence? This poem, his first draft of "The Tyger"
The Tyger (First Draft)
By: William "Night Wind of Fearsome Cutting" Blake
NINJA
Ninja, ninja, burning bright
in the steel and concrete city of the night
what completely awesome hand and eye
framed thy bad-ass symmetry?
and what the shuriken and what the blade
and what the mask and what the babes
did he who made the samurai make thee?
and did he smile to see
what a thing he did make?
As you can clearly see, ninja's, from time immemorial, have always been recognized as the most bad-ass, and completely awesome creatures ever to pimp-roll their way from one side of the globe to the other, and to think any differently is pure brain-melting stupidity. I rest my case, QED, Ipso Facto, A priori, blah blah blah. I win.
