I'm SMEE!!!!!!

My shih pa lo han sho is better than yours.

Pfft. Everybody knows that all Eastern fighting styles evolved from the pitiful leavings of the Shao-lin temples. Ninjas are pranksters.

But I think Ben has a good point. Nothing's ever stopped ninjas from pillaging from the high seas, except maybe better pillagers.

Pirates, like most sailors, had deeply rooted superstitions about allowing women on board of a ship. There were a few notable female pirates, that were so simply because they were the exception to the rule, not due to any particular skill or fabulous deeds. In fact, there have been studies suggesting that homosexuality was indeed very prevalent among the Brotherhood, which would only reinforce the bias.

Ninja had kunoichi. Female ninja trained to infiltrate using their femininity as both a disguise, and a potential weapon.

Hot, flexible Japanese girls in all black who can kick my ass..

I'm sorry folks.. hands down.. Ninja win.

Did you know that Bodhidharma is the man that instructed them in physical exercises to condition their bodies as well as their minds. He is creited in teaching them the "Eighteen Hands of the Lo-Han" or shih pa lo han sho. But if you know, then never mind. Just throught I put that out for everyone.

Dang LH..you DO have a good point.

Pirates, after all, they have their own holiday http://www.talklikeapirate.com

Psh, Ninjas are way cooler. Just read the testimonies on this website.

I think I know a a little bit about Lo-Han.

The physical exercises you're talking about are commonly referred to as the I Chin Ching (I can't claim to be spelling it properly, as the only copy of it I have is in Chinese, which in turn is a copy of notes taken down directly from Grand Master Sin Kwang Thé by one of his better students - my original sifu.)

Pirates. Yum.

Have to agree. Sea-faring Ninjas totaly kick all ass.

I fear I am obligated to vote Pirate....since I ARRRR one.

Though I am really a Vampirate....

Why?.......Cause I SUCk at it.....that's why....



Besides....Ninjas are SOOOO 80's.


.

Speaking of Ninjas..has anyone ever heard that mix that had the old Ninja Gaiden [nintendo] music in it? I cant remember who did it now..but i liked it and want to find it again.

on topic.

I think pirates would be more fun to hang out with[you really cant go wrong with drunken limmericks]..ninjas might just sit there and meditate.

in retrospect, i will have to go with pirates. because pirates have more booty.
