He's a decent sort of chap. With loads of electrical tape.

I'm not sure what's odder, a grown man lurking in the streets in ninja garb, or that he seems to be carting around his favourite ball of energy.

Somerset is already under protection.

Just when I think its only Americans that are out of their minds the English come along and remind us who the original nutjobs are. Better ninja costume than most I've seen. I think he needs an arch enemy thou. Do we have any bullies near somerset willing to dress up like a pirate?

Phew! I was worried for a moment. I thought it might be one of nephews.

Thankfully, not.

The BBC clip makes out he is just a lone eccentric prowling the streets of Yeovil with his chi ball, but there is a whole nest of ninja that he is leading to protect the swans of this fair land.

How to be a ninja.

1. Dress up like a tool
2. Wear black clothes to hide in trees during the day
3. Go on national television with your name.

SO let me get this straight, the best way to ensure the civic protection is to dress like a burglar and potentially misdirect law enforcement.

At least American superheroes dress in obviously ridiculous garb and are typically instantly viewed as harmless by police.

This guy must terrify folks and might get shot on sight.
