On 11/16/09, at approximately 11:15 p.m., an officer was doing an area check for a victim of an assault in the 600 block of 7 Av when she came across a male screaming for help, as he was impaled on the top of a metal fence.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

And the money quote is at the end:

Clearly he was overconfident in his abilities, no doubt bolstered by alcohol.

A real ninja would have plucked the cop's eyes out and removed himself from the fence before his image registered in her brain!

Unless of course it was merely a diversion to make people think he wasn't a ninja. I bet someone dies at the hospital he is "recovering" at while he is there. Coincidence? I think not.

You ignore ninjas at your own peril as the guy just found out.

Credible sources state that ninjas have been known to devastate and behead entire towns just because they did not get the fries they ordered.

Chuck Norris isn't a ninja, we can see him.

A man cannot "believe" he is a ninja, for that man is not. A man must "know" he is a ninja to truly be.

A man must "know" he is a ninja to truly be.

And to "know" that (as knowledge is not cheap) he must swallow three frisbees without folding them.

Well, this should get an "honorable mention" for the Darwin Awards.

Unfortunately one has to die to be nominated for the Darwin Awards.

Of course we don't know what part of his anatomy got impaled on the fence. Can He still breed?
