Whew, I'm okay for at least 23 hours out of the day.

Sorry, my math skills aren't so hot this morning. Make that 22 hours out of the day...

Still need to work on math.

Look, Ninja live in a different time stream. Didn't you know that? That's how we work that crazy ninja magic. Ooga-Booga!

Are ninja obedient enough they would comply with that sign? If so, I think I'd like one with the hours expanded so I can get a good night's rest. Also, a 'NO VAMPIRES' sign would be nice. BTW, that sign has a typo!!

HMeph, you are correct the sign does have a typo.

I can't presume to speak for all ninja about how law-abiding they are. After all ninja were assassins and saboteurs -- occupations generally on the wrong side of the law. (Unless you talk to Pat Robertson.) I know Tommy spent several years as an evil minion of a megalomaniacal dictator, so he probably wouldn't have heeded the restrictions; but I don't know his views on obeying the sign right now.

Vampires, on the other hand, are completely evil and revel in disobeying signs and other petty authorities. Except for pretty-boy vampires with souls like Angel. The only reason he'd disobey a "No Vampires" sign is if it kept him from picking up his favorite nancy-boy hair gel.

Signs at least put tresapssers on notice that they won't be tolerated and can expect a katana or wooden stake, what-have-you, if they flout the rules.

And the typo? Not everyone is as big-brained as we are.

Typo? I thought you found that collection of episodes of Star Trek with time warps and used it for your Ninja purposes.

Yeah, you freak.

I used the earth's gravity well to slingshot myself past the sun at hypervelocity. There was this really cool special effect of the digital readout of my chronometer running backward -- depsite the fact that this is impossible due to my perceived course of time (and my clock's) under Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. And it's probably mechanically impossible too.

Knowing the correct date and time (and accounting for time zones) sure helped when my enormous starship appeared at the height of the Cold War over 1964's Cape Canaveral. Thank goodness the Air Force didn't notice and take serious action. I'd hate to alter the time stream by incinerating an ancestor fighter pilot with my phasers. That would be downright embarassing, or lead to a mistaken nuclear exchange with the Russians.

That was 1966.

jrf said...

You're still a freak.

And are you sure? I didn't think ST:TOS was on that year.

jrf said...

Well, you learn geeky new trivia every day. ST:TOS was on the air 1966, 1967, and finished in 1968. I thought it was earlier than that.

I highly recemond that you enlist the help of a good Vulcan Science Offcier to help keep your facts straight. If you cannot do that, I would talk to Prof Hiroshi Ishiguro.
