LOL. Some of you people have been playing too many video games.

The ninja and the bear would fight to near death, then as they lay on the ground, panting from exhaustion and wounds, their eyes would meet and they would fall in love. After their marriage they would have 3 children who would become the first in a line of unstoppable Bear-Ninjas! Each would train hard and master the advanced techniques of ninjitsu, but one would be swayed by the lure of power and money, become the CEO of a large Japanese conglomerate and plot to conquer the world. His plans would force the other two to take down his organization by themselves, using only their ninja wits and bearlike reflexes. In the final battle the youngest of the children, always known as the runt, would unleash the awesome fury of his true strength in an eye-popping 300-hit combo, knocking the evil sibling out the window of his top-level office and impaling him on the giant sword held by the 12-story-tall gold statue of himself. The runt would get the girl of his dreams and go off to continue the Bear-Ninja line, while the other sibling would take over as head of the conglomerate. Somehow, they'd both walk off into the sunset first.

As you can see, my reasoning is sound.

but he's a ninja. he's totally sweet.

That's why we're AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN.

Certainly you don't think we lived in fear of bears before the gun was invented :confused:

True, but then again part of being at the top of the food chain is knowing when
to leave certain things alone.

You don't see many people trying to kill sharks with a pistol in scuba gear.
It probably can be done, but I bet on the shark every time.

hell, you could have 2 guys armed with 22's distanced 75 yrds from the bear and the bear would still win.

Except for the part where he didn't exist, 'cause it was a hoax. :p

Well, yeah, because my BB gun is larger caliber. Give those guys 40-50 cal and it's game over for the bear. 38 cal would even do significant damage itthey are decent shots.

a ninja would slice a bear in half before he even hears his blood splatter the ground.

even at melee distance.... a ninja can slice and dice so fast you'll have a bear salad before you know it.

A .38 cal wil not stop a charging grizzly bear. Not to mention that a shot to the skull on a charging grizzly bear for your average person in the time it takes a grizzly to run 75 yards isn't that likely. I think alotta people don't really understand the true danger behind a grizzly bear.

Granted, a .38 is a bit small, but >.45 + 75 yeards = dead, dead bear.

i concur.

ninja gaiden (on the xbox) proves that a properly trained/equipped ninja can defeat big skeletal dragons, heavily armed soldiers, zombies/deamons/all manner of critters, and even t72 tanks and ah64 apaches. of course those mechanical contraptions have to be taken out with more than just your ninja sword.

but the point is that a bear has no chance against Ryu Hyabusa. i cannot speak for the lesser ninjas, perhaps the bear would end up demolishing a 'ninja dog' or the rare 'southern nancy ninja'. but not a REAL ninja.



edit: one day i'll learn to type things right the first time.

C'mon. We're talking 7 feet and 800lbs of raw muscle and bone here... :roll:

Top speed is 30mph. At 75 yards, that gives you 5 seconds before you're toast.

dood... ninjas eat and take a crap with in 5 seconds.

just check out some anime... the ninja ALWAYS wins vs the bear.

the ninja has a SWORD the bear doesnt. ninja swords are sharper then lasers. not to mention the ninja can just disapper into thin air ala naruto.
