Never said it did. After all, Talk Like a Pirate Day came first (I think), it has Dave Barry's support, and you can actually talk in a crazy accent for it. Day of the Ninja doesn't have any of that, but you can still tie a T-shirt into a ninja mask and do crazy "martial arts" moves.
By the way, one of my upcoming fivers has a reference to Talk Like a Vampire Day, which I think might be unique and an invention by myself. Any comment? (PS. I really did come up with a way to seamlessly weave the idea into the fiver through the use of another joke. You'll have to wait and read it to see if it works.)
