If there are, they're ninjas...act like you didn't notice them.


If they were decent ninjas I wouldnt notice them. Spiderman often clings to the ceiling. Does that qualify him for ninja status?


What is he wearing?

He's wearing the Spidey suit, of course. If he wasn't, I would have said Peter Parker. :P

I think to be a ninja it has to be black. You don't see any Hello Kitty ninjas around...

Hehe. I do that too. Counterproductive most of the time, I have a terrible tendency to run into people / things. Ends up being a bit awkward.

i look up becasue the world above is so much more interesting with all its light and the trees and clouds dashing across the sky, birds flitting about, buildings towering high above me- how can one help looking to the heavens?

I have the opposite problem, I feel compelled to say hello to everyone, like Crocodile Dundee walking down the street in NYC...
