Universe is Finite…according to NG

Now a new study of astronomical data only recently available hints at a possible answer: The universe is finite and bears a rough resemblance to a soccer ball or, more accurately, a dodecahedron, a 12-sided volume bounded by pentagons. If proven by further evidence and scrutiny, the model would represent a major discovery about the nature of the cosmos. NG

Daft Hands

Anyway… I was pretty impressed.

Movies Destroying NYC

New York Magazine lists the Ten Best Movies Destructions of New York City.

I was going to only show you ninjas # ten, but then I thought - miss an opportunity to show the Ghostbusters driving the Statue of Liberty while playing Jackie Wilson? My ninjas, please!

9. Ghostbusters II (1989)

Yes, both Ghostbusters movies torch the city real good, and we love the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man just as much as the next guy. But wea€™re going with the sequel for this list, and for one reason only: because one of the chief villains this time around is a paranormal ooze collecting in New Yorka€™s gutters, fed by the citya€™s collective negative energy, which just confirms our belief that New Yorkers are sometimes their own worst enemies. Oh, and that therea€™s no problem in the world playing "Higher and Higher" cana€™t fix.

A Day of Quandaries

There’s certain questions that ninjas ask but don’t really know the answer to on a daily basis. Furthermore, there is a whole wealth of questions that aren’t asked, that should most definitely be answered. In that spirit, I now present to you: A Day of Quandaries.

For our first question we ask, how old is Vanna White? These hosts and hostesses seem to last forever, and maintain their beauty the whole time.

When I asked my boy O this question he responded with an "I don’t care, because I’d still hit it." But let’s be honest. How old is she really? She doen’t look a day over 30. Vanna White is a stunning bout-to-be 51 years old. She’s been turning letters since she was in her 20’s and certainly turning heads since before that (erm..). This begs the question, how does she still look so young.

Well my ninjas, we don’t know, but we did answer the base question. Here’s some speculation.

How old is Pat Sajak? He has ten years on Vanna, at 61. Alex Trebek? 67!

These cats certainly don’t look or seem so old…

And, just for your info, if you have quandaries about life, the universe, and everything, hit us up at suggest@myninjaplease.com my ninjas. We can’t promise we’ll answer them but we’ll do our best.
