For all of y’all with too much time on your hands…

Or if you’ve been looking for a zen pathway to home deco, check out this color-by-number wallpaper from Jenny Wilkinson Design. Just remember, ninjas don’t always stay within the lines!

E3 says "Peace," and it’s because ninjas be downloading too many xbox games!

The biggest annual video game event, E3, has been cancelled. The larger companies exhibiting at the event pulled out recently, stating that the cost of the event did not justify the relative media exposure.

The company responsible for organizing the event decided that without the backing and support of the larger videogame manufacturers and developers, the event was not worth holding.AA They are expected to make the official announcement sometime in the next 48 hours.

Arborsculpture, because bansai is so last week… Been looking for the illest trees?

This dude got the illest trees!

Arborsculpture is the art of shaping tree trunks and branches into structures, either with ornamental or functional utility. The table and chair set above are too dope.
Cabinet has an interview with Abrorsculptor Richard Reams, who shapes trees into furniture in sculpture in his home of Oregon and around the world. The interview is great and the pictures are unbelievable.

Ann Coulter: Bill Clinton is Gay! What’s That Ninja Got to Say For Himself?

Just when you thought you’d heard all there was to hear about big ninja Billy, Ann Coulter came out and said he "displays some signs of latent homosexuality." Ahahaha! Now, whether or not he is (I think we can all draw our own conclusions), this video response from David Letterman is tooo funny.

Send Secret Messages in SPAM E-Mail!

New technology for modern-day ninjas:

This website allows you to enter a message and will then encode it in the form of a spam e-mail. Once received, it can be plugged back into the back and decoded. An interesting tyoe of veiled encryption…

Explanation from Spam Mimic:

"There are terrific tools (like PGP and GPG) for encrypting your mail. If somebody along the way looks at the mail they can’t understand it. But they do know you are sending encrypted mail to your pal.

The answer: encode your message into something innocent looking.
Your messages will be safe and nobody will know they’re encrypted!"

Stephen Colbert, French Ninja Extraordinaire, Clowns Hard… What’s New?

There’s a hilarious clip of Stephen Colbert doing his "Better Know a District" segment with Eleanor Holmes Norton, the representative from Washington DC. I can’t tell if she knows who Colbert is or that he’s being a silly-ass ninja, but regardless, they are both killin it.

The best is when she "accuses" him of being French.

Keepin’ it way too real!

So, here’s the shocker: none of these are actual photogaphs, they were all created digitally with vectors.AA This means each of the ninja artists responsible for the creation of these images first made 3D models using vectors, and then applied the textures and shading effects to make these pictures become realer than real.AA And you thought you were a ninja! Please!

The article has a lot of amazing pictures from a variety of artists.

Experiencing Memory Loss?

Well you might be getting old, you might be burnin a bit too much of the ganja or you might have been subjected to the dark tricks of an evil ninja, but now there’s still some hope for your fading powers of recollection. Ampakines, a drug developed in the early 90s (yes, the 90s were a great time), have been proven to reverse the aging affect on long-term memory. So all you old ninjas, keep on keepin on, because help is on the way.

I’m trying to get me some of that before I completely…um…what was I gonna say?
