Shinobi Mice
I've been thinking a lot about this concept lately, and think that the world could use a good army of shinobi mice. Check that:
I could use a good army of shinobi mice. Why? Well, for starters, the idea of shinobi cockroaches just sounds too silly, yet mention "shinobi mice" to someone, and while they laugh at first, they start to think that it could actually work.
I savour the notion of having an army of ninjitsu mice dressed in small, black uniforms, infiltrating the lairs of noted enemies (which reminds me: add "acquire noted enemies" to my To Do list) and performing all sorts of secret, dirty, underhanded deeds on my behalf. Though while I'm not entirely certain how I can train rodents in the martial arts, or make shuriken darts or stars small enough for them to wield, I feel confident that with enough government grant money, I can succeed.
Not necessarily succeed at the "shinobi mice" proposal, mind you, but with enough capital I'm certain I could succeed at something.
Today's Lesson: it's better to be light-hearted when life gets all weighed down. Not to say that I've got a bouyant personality to accomplish this; I figure it's all that hot air in my head that allows me to rise above the dread and drudgery.
