It's Friday, so you know what that
means - beers at 10am! No? Bad idea? Fine. I guess we'll have to settle for some new Ninjas of the Week instead!
5. AUSTRALIA
This week, the country ofAustralia let the rest of the world know that it was not only fighting the war
on cyber terrorism, but that it could launch its own cyber attack if
necessary! On the one hand, we think this is a ballsy move, taking your enemies
head on, which is very ninja-like. But on the other hand, wouldn't a ninja want
to keep this information secret as to plan a sneak attack? We're going to give
them a Ninja of the Week award anyway so we stay on their good side.
4. HERCULES
The statue of Hercules in
Archanon, France got an, um, upgrade this week, when officials, who were tired
of constant vandalism, decided to make the statue's penis detachable. We're not
sure that the real Hercules would approve of his "appendage" being
ninja'd by the city. However, I guess it's better than being stolen all the
time by vandals. And where are all these stolen peni going?! Never mind. We
don't want to know.
3. OLEG SHERSTYACHENKO
Russian daredevil OlegSherstyachenko, aka Oleg Cricket, recently tested his hoverboard skills on the
edge of the MBK Tower in Dubai. He posted a short video showing himself
hoverboarding on the edge of the 656 foot skyscraper, only inches from the
edge. Our only explantation for this is that he is indeed a ninja, and is a
true man without fear. He claims there's a longer video coming, we can't wait
to see it!
2. THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND
It was the Queen's 90th birthday
this week, and for that alone she deserves to be awarded ninja of the week. Not only has this
amazing woman lived 9 decades, she's still the royal head of England! We
only hope we can still feed ourselves and go to the bathroom on our own at 90,
let alone run a kingdom. Happy Birthday, Queen Elizabeth II!
1. PRINCE
This week's Ninja of the Week was
an easy choice. We want to pay tribute to a man who changed music forever -
Prince. He was an incredible songwriter, performer, and human. For a brief
time, he was actually nameless - he went by a symbol only! We honor the purple
one by making him #1 this week. Thank you for all you've given us, Prince, you
were taken from us too soon, and the world will miss your genius.
