Meet Iran's female ninja assassins: 3,000 women training to defend the Muslim state

"With hundreds of women brandishing deadly weapons while performing back flips and gravity-defying stunts, these incredible images look like a scene out of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

But this is not the latest martial art film but in fact footage of female pupils practicing their moves at a tiny Ninjutsu club in Iran where the specialist........"

Recent immigrants from Libya now that Moammar isn't hiring...or maybe the Iranian version of policing up pine cones to keep the natives from getting too restless...

Ha! Those are not ninja...no levitating, no walking through walls, or across tree tops. And someone spent a little time raking those leaves into a nice pile.

And ninja does not literally mean the art of being invisible.

Anyone here remember ninja popularity of the 1980's in the US? And just exactly how many proficient ninja did that produce?

I'm with cat in the hat. South Korea takes all in that match up.
