Egg Ninjas: Make Hard Boiled Eggs The Ninja Way

Posted on by

I had no idea this was a problem, but apparently we need a gadget for handling recently boiled eggs. These stealthy bungie-corded Egg Ninjas will help, while turning your eggs into little assassins.

All you have to do is stick an egg in the silicone suction cup, lower it down into your boiling water like your little round ninja is repelling down for his mission and leave the ring tag outside the boiling water pot. When they are finished, just pull them out, set them down and let them cool for their debriefing.

Then eat them, because you know, no witnesses. They are just $13(USD) for a set of two. This is probably the cutest way to boil an egg.

Japan Has a Glorious Ninja Academy and Anyone Can Attend

Posted on by

Growing up, I rented the VHS tape of the b-flick American Ninja probably a million times. I wanted to be a Ninja pretty badly. My mom would never let me buy a sword or throwing stars, so my ninja dreams never came true. If you live in Japan, you can go to an actual Ninja Academy in the Nara Prefecture.

At the academy, they will teach you the art of throwing stars, using a sword, and all sorts of other stuff a ninja needs to know. The giant bow used in archery class looks really cool as well.

A one-day class costs 2000 yen (~$17 USD) and a two-day class costs 4000 yen (~$34 USD). The school takes on all students who want to participate, and even kids can come. The lawyers here in the U.S. would never let kids throw actual ninja stars.

Ninja Bib Keeps Babies Clean and Deadly

Posted on by

When my son was a baby, he was the messiest eater on the planet. He couldn’t control his arms and legs well enough to walk yet, nor could he reach around the edges of his high chair, yet somehow me managed to get food all over the walls.

Take your eyes off him for a second, and he would pelt you with food. He could hurl these fruit wheel dissolving snack thingies like ninja stars. He really needed this Stealth Ninja Baby Bib to complete the effect. It probably wouldn’t have kept him clean, but he would have looked the part.

That’s worth it right there. The bib is stain repellant and looks like a little ninja with hook-and-loop closure on the side. Get one for your food-throwing tyke for just $9.99(USD) at ThinkGeek.

Ninja Star USB: Shuriken Save Your Data

Posted on by

Ninja Star USB

The Ninja Star USB isn’t exactly the most discrete flash drive on the market, but it’s definitely one of the most attractive ones out there. As you can see, it’s shaped like a shuriken, the weapon of choice of stealthy ninjas, and while it’s not as sharp as its namesake, it can hold 8 gigabytes worth of data, be it documents, pictures, music, or movie files.

The Ninja Star USB can’t fight deadly computer viruses on its own, but it shuriken keep your data safe as long as you keep it safe. (Pun intended–sorry, I couldn’t resist!) It’s available online for $15.50.

Ceramic Ninja Mug: Drink to Your Stealth!

Posted on by

This ceramic ninja mug is all kinds of awesome. Your other mugs won’t even see it coming when it hits your cabinet. And when it does, it will quietly, but effectively incapacitate and kill your old favorite mug, hiding the broken bits of the body within that old souvenir mug way in the back that you haven’t used in like 20 years. Then he will wait quietly for when you need him.

This black ceramic mug comes with a tiny sword that doubles as a spoon, a removable throwing star base and a removable ninja mask. It looks like a dark ninja turtle – without the half-shell.

Beware of co-workers stealing this mug though. It is that awesome. But if they do, I’m sure the mug will make short work of them and find it’s way back to you. It’s just $14.99(USD) from ThinkGeek.

Ninja Cake Pops: Are You Quick Enough to Pop Them in Your Mouth?

Posted on by

I have a thing for cake pops. There’s just something so delicious about the idea of a piece of cake you can eat anytime, anywhere – like a lollipop. Whoever invented the cake pop should win a Nobel prize as far as I’m concerned. My favorite cake pops of the day have to be these ones, shaped like little ninjas.

They’re made by SoSweetPops, and come in an assortment of hooded red and black ninja heads, filled with your choice of chocolate, red velvet, vanilla, yellow, carrot, birthday, or strawberry cake. Yum. Strawberry shinobi! My only concern about these cake pops is that ninjas have been known to pull off some serious defensive maneuvers – so they might try and punch their way out of your mouth when you go to eat one. Or they might not even let you get that far.

If you think you’re powerful enough to take on the ninja cake pops, head on over to Etsy, where you can grab a dozen for $24(USD).
