Patrick Hand Posted February 23, 2005 Author Posted February 23, 2005 Pirate vs Ninja But it's kinda an apples vs. onion kind of comparison..... Let me guess....... it goes something like this.... "who would win in a fight between pyrates and ninjas " " Hey you... in th' black jammies.......yah you....".... BOOM Gun Foo beats kung foo.....
Rogue Mermaid Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I saw a shirt at Hot Topic that said "Pirates and Ninjas don't get along". I disagree, three of my best friends are black belted ninjas.
Duchess Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I saw a shirt at Hot Topic that said "Pirates and Ninjas don't get along". I disagree, three of my best friends are black belted ninjas. Oh my. Do they actually refer to themselves as "black belted ninjas" or is this something you call them?
Rogue Mermaid Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 No they don't brag about it or anything. Two of them own a ninjitzu (I can't spell) school where they teach and the other one studies with them. I tried a beginner's class and one of the other students accidently hurt me by being over aggressive. I switched to Tai Bo after that
Duchess Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Do they have style they practice or affilliations?
Rogue Mermaid Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I actually don't know. This is their website: http://www.kusamartialarts.com/ The school just opened in October so it's still pretty small right now.
TwinSwords Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 i didn't wanna put Ninja....so i brought up samurai instead. I am balanced between Ninja and Pirate.... ...I sail the seas of Japan and rob the innocents with stealth and cunning. :)
Patrick Hand Posted February 24, 2005 Author Posted February 24, 2005 ...I sail the seas of Japan and rob the innocents with stealth and cunning. Kinda hard to sneek up on another ship unless you paint it all black...... I know there were Chineese pirates... not sure about Japaneese, but I don't think they would be ninjas..... kind of a different profession.....
Patrick Hand Posted February 24, 2005 Author Posted February 24, 2005 Just for funzies....... from "The Samurai a Military History" S.R. Turnbull the Naval campaign in the Korean War 1592-1598 "But thier experience was not of the high seas, nor indeed were their ships, for the history of Japanese piracy was one of seaborne raids on coastal or river towns. Besides, most of the Japanese fleet presently engaged were essentially transport vessels, both in function and design, and the Japanese idea of a warship was no more than a floating platform for samurai. So much for the Japanese. In contrast, the Korean vessels were warships- big, fast and, if certain obstinate Korean traditions are to be beleaved.... iron clad battleships" "...the Koreans had no firearms in the form that the Japanese knew, i.e. arquebuses. But they were well acquainted with gunpowder, and it was in the form of cannon that Korean firepower had developed. The guns fitted to the turtle boats were about three feet long and fired either shot of steel-headed darts....With a total of fourty or more guns per ship their armament was truly formidable."
Kalum Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Now ya gone and got all technical on me! Interesting stuff none the less...
Patrick Hand Posted February 24, 2005 Author Posted February 24, 2005 Well the Korean campaign was the closest to time period, with Naval action... (And hearing ALL about the turtle boats when I was stationed in Korea....)
Kalum Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Yea well...I guess that'd do it! Right now I'm tryin' t' figger out why cigarette smoke looks grey when it's really brown...
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 (me scratches me head) Now mind you all I'm not with ease when it comes to thought provocation though I am stumphtified on the grey smoke thing here???? Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.
Kalum Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 What can I say? I'm a confusing individual... :)
Duchess Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Yea well...I guess that'd do it! Right now I'm tryin' t' figger out why cigarette smoke looks grey when it's really brown... Oooo. Do please allow me to shed some light on this subject. The cigarette smoke is very fine particles floating in the air. These particles cause any light hitting them to diffract. Since blue light has a shorter wavelength it is more prone to scattering than red wavelength which occupy the opposite end of the spectrum. Thus while all the red/orange light passes through or is only diffracted a very small amount, the blue is scattered all over the place and we see a blueish tinge to the smoke. It's all physics. The Duchess
Kalum Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Wow...thanks Duchess! Didn't think anyone was gonna tackle that one...interesting how things happen ain't it?
Patrick Hand Posted February 26, 2005 Author Posted February 26, 2005 Ok ciagrette smoke explained........ how bout this one...... If there is acid in your stomach... (to digest your food, and sometimes the stomach linning as ulcers.....) Then why when you barf on the toe of yer boots, dosen't the acid eat through th' leather....
