Guess no one read my post. :p

It's the one on Alton. News said it was an ex-employee with pscyhological problems on medication. Two employees died, and a few other people injured.

I used to work at Albertsons distribution center in Southern California.... Remembering how that place ran, I am surprised it didn't happen sooner.... No disrespect intended to the victims...

Dude, I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.

i think the ninja is one of these guys in the picture

Can't be a samurai sword, with those things you can't more than 2 or 3 times before you have to clean off the blade.

I dont get the whole realultimatepower ninja site. Is the point really just to make people go "wtf??" or is there some obscure reference that i'm not picking up? Just about everything on the site is bogus, even the alleged "hate mail." What's the deal?

Ah, so you have REAL Ultimate Power do you?

I love to ride my motorcycle while playing my guitar and chopping off any person who MIGHT look at me....that is REAL Ultimate Power!


As for Kenshin....bloody OVA...very bloody OVA (HAven't seen the series) but I wouldn't be suprised if that guy was maybe imitating Kenshin and then all the sudden we have Mrs. Cheney and "Tipper" join forces once more to ban anime or whatever their wacko minds say so
