Bundesrepublik Deutschland Loves Ninjas

I was looking through my blog statistics today (the service is free from Google, and keeps track of how many people visit your site and what city in the world they are from). When I realized an amazing trend on the weekly graph...When I posted the celebrated Ninja Bobble Erik entry, there was an enigmatic spike in viewers from Germany.

I'm sorry...What?! What the deuce is going on around here! I don't even know anyone that currently resides in Germany.

I looked into the phenomenon and found the only logical conclusion...the Federal Republic of Germany loves ninjas. I don't mean a few of the residents, I mean all of the residents.

In an effort to promote friendship and unity between our two ninja loving countries, I have decided to research (and share with you) this mysterious and backward country called Germany.

Information I have learned about Germany and the proud Germy people (Germy is the preferred moniker used by Germys everywhere):

  • Germany is filled with people that love Kung Fu movies. I could not find any evidence for this except that there is not really any other way to look upon a ninja and live. And we have already established that Germanic People = Ninja Love.
  • German peoples love Monopoly, as seen by their currency (see below). Which in turn, it can be inferred that the most expensive regions to live in Germany are named Park Place and Boardwalk. Side note - Germans travel from city to city in giant shoes, or in giant top hats.
  • Germans have very elaborate movie theaters where all of the newest releases are shown in THX (see photo below)

  • Germany has many entertaining television shows including remakes of American classics such as The A-team (pronounced Auch-Team), Touched by an Angel, and Spencer for Hire.

This is just a small taste of some of the amazing and true facts that I have learned about the country of Germany. If anyone reading this has more insight into this complex society please let me know, so that we can add to the collective knowledge.

Now, I would very much like to sincerely welcome all of my new Germanic friends to my humble blog, and I hope that this will be the start of a wonderful kinship...

...involving ninjas.
