Ninja Umbrella wards off rain, vanishes without trace

I still plan on living out my childhood ninja fantasies: jumping across thatched straw rooftops, stealing precious family heirlooms in the middle of the night, throwing pointy stars, and honoring my giant rat sensei by ridding the world of mutated rhinos and warthogs. And now I won't have to worry about getting wet in the process.
The handle to this Ninja Umbrella resembles the old samurai katanas of yore, replete with a crossed grip hilt and a cloth scabbard that you can swing across your back when the sun comes out. The umbrella section expands to a 3-foot-long canopy, and you can buy it here for $30. Do yourself a favor and don't read the description on there that claims ninjas do karate--everyone knows that NINJAS do NINJITSU. Duh.
