Awesome!

This is proof that ninjas are EVERYWHERE!

The problem is that logically speaking they cannot be ninjas. Somebody saw them. For that to happen they have to be doing something important, like jump kicking a helicopter.

unless they were real ninjas disguised as fake ninjas....a most ninja like trick i suspect. grinbig.gif

I read this earlier, it's almost as good as the guys trying to rob a bar full of off duty cops.

Oh to be the fly on the wall when the muggers saw what was coming for them.

I am surprised that the instructor is not being sued by the ninjas parents for endangering them. But then this wasnt in the usa either.

They're training in martial arts. The entire point of which is how not to get hurt in those kinds of situations.

That's really not the point of martial arts in a whole lot of McDojos here in the states.

Also remember that this is the states. "When in America, do as Americans do: sue everybody!"

I mean for gods' sake, a guy sued McDonalds because he spilled coffee in his lap.

Emphasis added. There's your problem.

It's not like the instructor drove them toward the muggers with whips. I can try and persuade my mates to join me in storming the British embassy, but it's still up to them whether or not they agree. If society considers culpability to lie with the person who says "do this" and not at all with the people who say "okay", then society is sick and needs help.

IMO.

This is how it looks when they ambush you at home.

Actually, the coffee machine malfunctioned to the point where it produced a slurry of superheated heated sugar and flavoring so hot that it melted through the cup and on to the woman's lap where it gave her 3rd degree burns on her lady bits so bad that it took 3 rounds of plastic surgery to clear the scar-tissue blockage which sealed her urethra shut.

It burned her pee hole closed.
Suing for damages is not so outrageous.

Ok now that was a image i didnt need this early in the morning when ever one around me has just got fresh coffee

Actually, Lansdren, you're pretty safe! The only other bad coffee burn case I know of that settled clearly in the victim's favor happened back in the '90s, when it turned out that McDonald's was keeping their coffee roughly 50-60 degrees hotter than pretty much anywhere else on the planet did back at the time that case went to trial. Now, it's widely known in the restaurant industry that once you're keeping things at 140 degrees or higher, you're heading into burn hazard territory. Meanwhile at the ranch, McDonald's had a company wide mandated temp of 180 degrees, minimum.

Ouch.

Come on guys, these aren't real ninjas. Real ninja's would either be giant turtles, or invisible. Everyone knows that.

there are no ninjas in that picture, haven't you heard of the inverse ninja law. The law states that the more ninjas there are in one area, the less powerful they are. A room full of ninjas are unable to beat a flea in armed combat, let alone hide from plain sight.

I believe he was referring to the man who spilled coffee in his lap in his car after receiving it back in the late-ish 90s.

He sued because "no one told him his hot coffee was hot."

Well it's kinda like when you go to a party and everyone is wearing the same thing.
How embarrassing must it be to sneak into the convention only to realize there are a good 499 other ninjas disguised as empty chairs?

Wasn't a malfunction. They well knew the coffee was that hot, and there had been multiple lawsuits with injuries settled under the table, this one went to court with the express purpose to force them to lower the temperature of their coffee below two hundred F
