So about a week ago I was invited to join Orkut. According to it:
Orkut is an online community that connects people through a network of trusted friends.
We are committed to providing an online meeting place where people can socialize, make new acquaintances and find others who share their interests.
It was designed and named "for the Google engineer who developed it, Orkut Buyukkokten. (Orkut is easier to spell and pronounce than Buyukkokten.)" Well goody. E2 as usual has something to say, and in general these friend networks are all about getting people together, interacting and sleeping with each other. Or at least that seems to be the case. A lot of it seems to put great emphasis on romance, and relationship stuff. Bollocks more like.
It does have communities though, and there are many and they are wide and varied. I created one, I joined one, and I joined another. My one is called "other." Damn, I'm awsome, and you know, really original as well. The second community I joined was REAL Ultimate Power!!!! It is awsome in such ways as www.realultimatepower.net is awsome. Which is many. Dan and I have long been fans of theirs. For they know the truth. Facts: Yeah. So as I said, I joined their community (I haven't added any other friends to my network, I am (1) after my name, but I'm somewhat interested in what the hell is going on in this thing (full of (American (60%)) geeks)) and had a look at their little community board. And what did I spot? But some comments that the "pirate community" was bad mouthing the ninja community. To which Wallace (whoever he is) responded Well, Pirates are cool as well, you know. The five fundamental elements of coolness are, of course Ninjas, Pirates, Robots, Monkeys and Zombies. This is why Pirates of the Carribean kicked ass - it had a Zombie Pirate Monkey. If it had had a robotic arm and a throwing star, it would have caused a black hole of coolness and caused the entire universe to be destroyed, so we were very lucky there. Which I can't help agree with. Ninjas, Pirates, Robots, Monkeys and Zombies do indeed form some sort of coolness. Although they are missing Skippy the Bush Predator. I guess he could be a zombie, or possibly a robot. In other news. This is not quite Zombo.com, but is pretty good.
1. Ninjas are mammals.
2. Ninjas fight ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.
