In this day and age, soldiers with big hats and red uniforms are a bit too conspicuous. A Ninja guard are not only largely invisible, but trained killers, which is a bit of deterrent. The changing of the guard will be silent affair save for a few whooshing sounds.
not quite totally different...

Isn't this basically what the Special Air Service Regiment is? I mean, I don't want to give away any secrets here, but {tap-tap} {thud} |
|

[gilgamesh], what makes you think they don't already exist? |
|
| |
I saw a ninja pop out've a grenadier's bear skin headgear once. |
|
| |
I never saw that ninja again. |
|

Ninjas are supposed to be masters of disguise, and hiding in plain sight. I wouldn't be surprised if the "royal guards" were only decoys, and the funny people in khaki shorts and Hawaii shirts, holding cameras, were the actual Queen's own Ninjas. |

Has anyone properly looked into the whole pluralization
issue regarding "Ninja"? Is "Ninja" truly singular? If so, is the
plural "Ninjae" or "Ninjas" or what? |
|
| |
Or, if (as I suspect) "Ninja" is a plural noun, what is the
singular? One Ninj, two Ninja? One Ninjus, two Ninja? One
Ninjum, two Ninja? |
|
| |
Or is the point that you never actually know how many
Ninja[s/e] there is/are? |
|
| |
[Jinbish] I've never seen 'em... Ahhh! |
|
| |
Psst; I don't think Japanese has plural forms. |
|
| |
Ninja ga hitori, ninja ga futari, ninja ga sannin... (one ninja, two ninja, three ninja...)
Ninja no kazu ga masu to tomo ni ninja de wa nai hito ga tsukunakunaru desho ka. (As the number of ninja goes up, the people who aren't ninja become fewer, right?) |

Ninjas are like uncertainty states. If you look whether they are there you collapse them. |

[pertinax] Are you aware of the story of why the roman numerals on clockfaces have "IIII" rather than "IV"? { That's right! Someone French invented the reason! You'd have thought Louis XIV - Not Louis XIIII would have known better... but when you're king and head of state, subjects do as they're told...} |
|
| |
Are you going to be the person who tells HRH QE II this news? |
|
| |
Clockfaces have "IIII" instead of "IV" (often - not always)
because it looks
more balanced that way, sitting across from "VIII", and makes
the face prettier. |
|
| |
So the Antiques Roadshow lied?! Damn! |
|
| |
I promise I won't leave our next meeting without telling her, [Dub]. |
|
| |
[Dub] My, [pertinax], it appears you've lost some... height! |
|
| |
[pertinax]... worst thing was, I didn't see it coming! |

A hands-free head-carrier for ghosts will be posted as soon as I've worked out how to bond velcro to ectoplasm. |
