Real ninjas reside in transparent solar powered houses. Oh, and did I mention they float on water?

Well, maybe not yet, but I’m saving up… That’s for damn sure. This thing is gonna be fly.

From the site:

"The independece created by a solar generator opens up new opportunities to create new habitable spaces on water…Solar power allows these floating architectures to be fully autonomous and sustainable. No energy bills, integrated water purification and no land needed."

Word to that. Peep Solar Lab Research and Design and check out their floating houses and solar powered boats. The site is flash so you gotta engage your navigation skills, my ninjas.

Mothballs are the new "hillbilly heroin"? Ninja what?!

Some crazy-ass ninjas in France (yeah, sadly, I guess that’s how they roll there) got caught "baggin." Uh-huh. Right. Yeah, they were breathing the air from a bag of mothballs for ten minutes a day to get high. One of them was even chewing on them…
A young woman was "hospitalized with scaly skin on her legs and hands appearing unsteady and mentally sluggish."

A Shout Out to the Feds! My Ninjas!

This is a quote from the story about a relatively unintelligent ninja who just got bagged for his CD. I guess the feds were running a drug case and used his lyrics to find who they needed to find. I wonder how much they paid the analysts…

I also wonder how many dudes named "pookie" got fingered in the investigation. Here’s a quizzle:

Terrence "Big Chef" Jones and 20 others were arrested last week, bringing an end to a 16-month narcotics investigation of the Bushwick Houses, called "Operation Bushwhack". Big Chef referred to himself as "the 500-gram cooker" and the "bag twister" in his lyrics, and listed the names of his drug-dealing crew in the liner notes of his CD.

"It’s like the confessions of a rap star/drug dealer," Inspector Steven Powers of the Brooklyn North Narcotics Unit told The NY Daily News. "We looked at it and said, ‘Wow, he’s giving a lot of details about his life".

Abnormal Splotches on Space Shuttle Discovery… Alien Lifeforms… or Bird Shizzle?

NASA scientists recently made an important discovery: Bird droppings are a resilient construction tool.

The space shuttle Discovery was recently sighted, while in orbit, with a number of white splotches on the black edge of its wing. These splotches of doo-doo were spotted on the shuttle before it took off, which means the droppings withstood the 1,135,590 liters of water that were used to hose down the shuttle and the acceleration from 0 to 17,476
miles an hour during the launch. Now that’s some serious shit! Tony Ceccacci, the lead flight director and lazy ninja extraordinaire, figures it’ll just burn off upon re-entry, when the shuttles edges will reach up to 3000 degrees fahrenheit.

"Usually they can hose it off…Maybe they need a bigger hose."
