Ninja Myth: Ninjas wear masks to blend into the darkness.
Ninja Fact: While that is partially correct, the mask also hides the ninja’s last, best weapon. It is a little-known fact that most ninjas are chosen for their looks and undergo a rigorous skin-care regimen, so that the mask can be removed in the middle of a fight to dazzle an opponent with a distractingly attractive specimen of male beauty. When faced with such a sight, many foes will break down in tears, unable to raise a hand against something so awe-inspiring, at which point they are vigorously beheaded.
