Ok, but what do BABY ninjas wear?

babyninja

Well, clearly, here is your answer. Even though this baby ninja is really cute, her fighting stance says that she has been trained well and can readily kick your butt. The folks who sell this baby ninja gear call this outfit a “tracksuit” probably due to the legal implications of selling ninja clothing for toddlers. This particular style is called “BreakDance”. Yeah, breakdance your face off with my baby ninja skills. Imagine how cute it would be to see an army of these little baby ninjas descending on your house under the veil of night. Climbing in your windows with their baby ninja cuteness before they make you wish you never crossed their master.

Why Can’t All Guns Shoot Teddy Bears?

Once again, Japan is one step ahead of us. They’ve developed this gun that launches a teddy bear into the air. Once free of the gun, the teddy bear’s parachute deploys and he descends safely to the ground. How cute is that?

The makers of this gun intended it to be used at weddings, because in Japan, they have started throwing teddy bears into the air instead of bouquets. Why not market it towards gun customers as well? Let’s say you went into your local gun shop to pick up a gun, and they had these guys sitting next to the regular guns, which one are you going to buy? And think of how much nicer convenience store robberies would be if criminals used teddy bear guns.

“Give me all the money in the cash register, or i’ll ‘cute’ you!”

Monkeys, They’re Just Like Us!

Boy monkeys like to play with cars, while girl monkeys like to play with dolls. That’s what scientists have found through monkey research. I did a little monkey research of my own and found this picture of a monkey that appears to be ghost riding the whip. So in addition to liking the same toys we do, it would seem that they pay attention to the same San Francisco bay area hip-hop trends.

Really though, this one needs to stop. If not for us, for the monkeys.

David Bowie Is Very Disappointed In You

This may be the best website that I have ever visited.

For some reason I just assumed that he would approve. I hope to turn things around starting today. You should too.

Design Software Weakens Drawing Skills

University design and architecture professors say that their students today lack the pencil-and-paper drawing skills that used to be a necessity. They say that the widespread use of design software like Adobe CS removes the need for such ability, and as a result, students aren’t able to draw as well on paper.

Now I’ve used some Photoshop now and again, and I wanted to make sure that I hadn’t lost any skills myself so I decided to make the above drawing. I think that the results speak for themselves. I just want to make it clear that I used NO DESIGN SOFTWARE in the production of the above drawing. What’s more, I did the whole thing free-hand without the aid of any straight edge or eraser. I will admit that I made the drawing on graph paper to aid in the precise use of perspective, but otherwise I relied entirely on my own drawing skills. Take that, “professors”.
