DNA Dojo inducts member

In a surprise throwback to the American Revolution, the secretive DNA ninja clan has announced it's fourth public member, the North American rattlesnake. Originally popularized by Benjamin Franklin and praised for it's uniquely fierce spirit of self-defense and self-reliance, the snake found a home on the Gadsen flag (pictured below). DNA Dojo's leader and ranking ninja master, @merica:: ::inj@, is believed to be behind the rattlesnake's nomination.


"This new so-called 'number ninja' goes against everything we expected from DNA," said an undisclosed assassin's guild official. "Sure, it's deadly and American, but the rattle is a dead giveaway - not stealthy at all - and I'm not sure it can do maths or work with numbers at all." While the North American rattlesnake's ability to solve mathematic challenges remains to be demonstrated, the early revolutionaries are said to have imbued the creature with numerological magics when they depicted it's tail holding 13 distinct rattles. Legend tells that shaking the 13 rattles together summons the original colonies' power of self-determination.
