I killed a squirrel with a rock once. And from a distance. But actually I finished it off with a large stump.

actually, they didnt need poison, as they had no cure for tetanus, they let everything rust, much safer to handle from the ninja's standpoint as well, and seeing as they didnt know what caused tetanus, they would have bought into the whole myth of a curse placed on the shuriken

I taught a young man to throw shurikans and he was able to hit targets he could not see such as by throwing them over a fence much taller than him and hiting the target on the other side. It is all in the training and determination of the student as with all things.

So now you are just gonna take peoples interests and make fun of them for it? That's like me saying "Why do you like posting messages, why don't you just grow up".

What about the kusari fundo (rope), Otani (HUGE axe), Nyo Ibo (oversize staff), Tchoka (umbrella), Tchigiri-oto (sash filled with blinding powder), Toami (fishing net), Shuko (spiked hand band), Ashiko (spiked foot), or even a grappling hook. Those are much stranger than some of these weapons, mostly because they a seen to most as "useless" in battle.
