Tanuki:		What is the collective term for more-than-one ninja?
Matt S Trout:	Not right, but "a silence of ninjas" appeals to me somehow.
Tanuki:		Or maybe a "stealth" of Ninjas?
Mike Andrews:	I believe that the correct answer is: A       of ninjas.
Tanuki:		I sense deep wrongness here: is it not Zen-axiomatic that
		any Ninja who announces himself as such is _not_ a Ninja?
Joe Block:	So the perfect disguise would be for the ninja to walk around
		in a ninja suit, trying not to hide, then?
Tanuki:		Ah, the old argument that sometimes the best way to truly hide
		something is to put it where it will be obvious.
		From now on this will be known as "Security by Blatancy"
