A pity I have never seen a real ninja. Well thats because they are invisible. They attack invisibly, eat invisible, and even write invisibly. Well then how do we know that they exist? ,,,,,,,,,,umm

Yes, there is a lot of history (I have studied it), but this is just for fun.
The history of what we call "ninja" is very interesting, and less mysterious than it seems.

If people only knew what the kanji actually meant, they would have a better idea.
some of the pictures could be a little offensive. being a 忍者 (忍の者)was serious business as I'm sure you're well aware.

Nin = to beat, to endure

But I really love the Western stereotype, it's so, so... exciting, mystical, glorified, romanticized. Man, that's what we need and what we are. No dispect meant. :-) Don't take this stuff toooo seriously, take it with a pinch of salt.

Just blew a few minutes in GIMP to make this avatar.
I just started two trends:
1. People stealing my avatar. This is likelyu to be the more popular trend, as is requires a mere right-click.
2. People putting the Ubuntu symbol on OTHER ninjas from Naruto. This is the more ninja trend, as it requires skillz.
So what be you? A thief? Or a very sincere flatterer?
