I can't believe I agree with Il Palazzo on anything. But In this case yes. Read the thread, the whole thing, before you start flinging poo at each other again.

[SolarShado]

Just when you think the thread is dead, it shows up in your unread replies section again.... *sigh*

[Andir]

Welcome back to the party everyone.  We have cake, punch, and napkins with one-liners for you all to read... Unfortunately, there are only a few and we'll just have to read them over and over again.

Also, don't spill your punch on the rugs please.

So I think that a major problem when trying to have ninjas fight dinosaurs is elevation and brain size. The key to combat for a ninja is to just up and behead your enemy in as few strikes as you can, usually one given that they will surprise you. The problem is, dinosaurs aren't smart enough to be surprised. Since they can't really formulate ideas of what to expect in a situation, so the ninja is fair game instantly, without the delay of "holy fuck a ninja!" crossing the mind. Also, ninjas are great at leaping, no doubt. But are they great enough to even get to most dinosaurs neck level? I don't quite think so, which means that their primary mode of attack is taken away.

Ninja's will just teleport and cut the dinosaurs head off inside the body.

[Il Palazzo]

I don't quite think so, which means that their primary mode of attack is taken away.

I thought their primary mode of attack was to slash with a katana, which is made of steel folded ten thousand times and beats european knight anytime.

[sonerohi]

Two issues though: A), is there enough room to get the leverage to swing the sword, given that the dinosaur flesh would be enclosing them, and B) is there enough oxygen present that they can make enough room via squirming and such?

Ninja's are so awesome that the insides of the dinosaur will MAKE room FOR the ninja.

LEAFSNAIL: you're thinking of "Bible Thumpers"

That'd be the American version of the phrase.

I wish there was a rule concerning this thread: You shall not post an idea that has been already posted here.
C'mon people, it's just 280-ish pages, you can read that.

The same would have to apply everywhere.  For instance, can you be absolutely sure that in 1439 pages noone else has ever been happy due to having a new girlfriend?

Incidentally, hasn't that idea been expressed hundreds of times on this very thread?  I mean, it's weirdly self defeating .

Not sure if you are serious, but most are only folded ~20 times.

[sonerohi]

Andir, can you provide any documentation which proves that the mighty katana, the best sword ever made and wielded by gods due to superior japanese steel was not folded seventeen million times in the womb of a volcano?

[Il Palazzo]

I believe we've got a katana denier there, don't you reckon so, sonerohi?

[sonerohi]

I do rightly reckon so Missa' Palazzo. See, 'round these hyeah parts katanas are the law.

Assumptions:
ninja > knight (obviously)
dragon > dinosaur (dragons are basicly more intelligent, fire breathing versions of dinos)
Knights are known for slaying dragons, and thus knight is also > dragon
Assertion:
ninja > dinosaur
Proof:
ninja > knight and
knight > dragon, thus ninja > dragon
Since ninja > dragon and dragon > dinosaur, ninja is also > dinosaur.

And there you have it: a mathematical proof that shows without a doubt that ninjas > dinosaurs and would win in a fight.

[Il Palazzo]

Ha! I can see a fault in your reasoning there, mr.alway:

ninjas > dinosaurs

You substituted mutliple ninjas for a ninja there, completely forgetting about the law of conservation of ninjitsu.
