Two odd news stories

[Drighton]

Cops responding to numerous 911 calls last week pulled up to a 41st Street curb to find a ninja patrolling the shadows armed with a pair of nunchakus and a sheathed sword, according to the Argus Leader.

However, the 15-year-old shadow warrior, Cal Geiser, was apparently just doing his job, promoting a local store selling Halloween costumes called Halloween Express.

"I was just out walking around in my ninja costume, twirling my nunchakus," Geiser told the Argus Leader. "After 20 minutes of that, I took out my sword and looked at it. I turned around, and there was a cop pointing his gun at me."

After the officer took off his mask and cuffed him, Geiser told the Argus Leader, "They were like, 'Oops.'"

Second Grader Brings Pot to School Trip

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A second grader who brought more than a dozen bags of marijuana to school will not face criminal charges — but his uncle will.

The 8-year-old student at the Dunbar School found his uncle's stash, and brought it on a school field trip Friday to show friends, police said.

A teacher found the boy stuffing bags of pot into his pockets during the trip to Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History.

"We immediately contacted the state Department of Children and Families because we were more concerned about the youngster," said Michael Giannotti, a spokesman for the school system. "After an investigation, we decided not to suspend the youngster because we don't feel there was any malice on his part."

His uncle, 18-year-old Albert Davidson of Stamford, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of marijuana with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school and risk of injury to a minor. He was released after posting a $1,000 bond.

The latter happened to my brother's schoolmate, though I think it was a harder drug.

I can't blame the police. There are enough phyco's that actually walk around with swords thinking they're ninjas.

What moron takes pot to the Natural History museum? XDDDD

Being arrested for play-acting as a ninja for a costume store might be a little hard to explain to your parents.

I like to think that the kid was actually a nutjob, running around thinking he was a ninja.

Imagine this guy trying to jump from tree to tree or stand on a limb or piece of bamboo. Then watch his *** fall and cut off his right arm on his own sword.

To a museum? Hell, I'd take a bag of pot. XD

Either you think Mega 64 is normal behavior or you live in a really weird neighborhood.

Nope, I think drace has a point here; cosplayers, fat and ugly spyware spreaders, angry mothers who strip down their children and throw them off piers, I don't think that's too weird to see a "Ninja" flinging around a sword.

Actually, I'm refering to the time that in Germany a guy took his Katana, went to the local church and killed everyone inside.

[Drighton]

Ever wonder what the world would be like if Japan hadn't westernized? All these Samurai and ninja running around as local police.

"Several pedestrians were treated for minor scrapes andcuts after being plowed down in a rickshaw chase. Apparently the chase started after a man insulted the honor of an officer. The man evaded the officers when he stopped and laughed in an evil manner before disappearing in a cloud of smoke. Several throwing stars were retreived from the scene. The honor-insulted officer failed to comment, but made several dramatic poses while humming his theme song."

Of course, that would mean we wouldn't have all these nice japanese products and companies (goodbye Square).

I will never acknowledge the monstrosity that is Square Enix.

It was better as SquareSoft and it will stay that way in my mind when I think back to all the good times I had. If FF12 bombs out (WTH do all the screenshots show blond or bleach-blond haired people!?!?) then I'm giving up on the Final Fantasy series all together AND Square.

No kidding; It was the Enix half of Square-Enix that stopped Square from making an updated remake to Chrono Trigger!

Enix?

*Searches the dictionary in his mind.*

What's that?

[Drace]

Enix: A piece of crap. Combines this with a "SquareSoft" element and you get crappy games.
Examples of usage in sentances: "You fuckin' piece of Enix!", "Woah, your game looks like a Square-Enix games, loser."
