| Quote: | Rogue ninja captured in Italy
Wednesday, June 13, 2007
A ninja who had been terrorising farmers in northern Italy has finally been captured by police.
The ninja, dressed entirely in black, would strike at remote farms in the Rovigo region, near Venice in north-east Italy. Moving in the shadows, as silent as nightfall, 32-year-old Russian Igor Vaclavic armed himself with a bow and arrow, and strapped a hunting knife to his leg to carry out his robberies.
Over the course of several months, the out-of-work-labourer-cum-ninja robbed over a dozen farmhouse, stealing money and jewellery from their owners before vanishing into the darkness.
Ninjas originated in 14th Century Japan, where they were assassins or spies. As they are trained for secrecy and stealth, you will never know when ninjas are out to get you until it's too late.
Vaclavic's ninja adventures were finally ended when one elderly couple fought back, and then called the police – who cornered Vaclavic in a nearby abandoned farmhouse, where he gave himself up instead of committing seppuku. Upon his arrest, Vaclavic reportedly told police that he was inspired by Robin Hood.
Robin Hood was not a ninja. |
The last line of that article is absolutely priceless...

| Ninjas in Italy? I guess the Soviet Union is a bit on a revival these days. |
