Koohii stories:

1) [jaresty] 4-12-2007(145): Moreover is a literary term to shelve what you had just been talking about, to come back to it later.

2) [fuaburisu] 15-1-2006(91): Same as darg_sama. Play on words. I imagine visiting someone who has an impressive collection of medals and trophies (chess champion, for example). After spending an hour showing you all the trophies in the glass shelf, you think "Whew! It's over." … but the person says "… and wait, there's "moreover" !", pointing at more trophies lined atop the glass shelf.

3) [vosmiura] 30-12-2007(62): Shelves are useful for storing things, and moreover they are responsible for splattering the brains of monarchs on tatami mats.

4) [Boeso] 8-5-2008(22): I love Ikea SHELVES. "MOREOVER here please!" I shout to the assistant at the store so I can put all my new Japanese texts into them!

5) [rtkrtk] 18-3-2008(14): Imagine an impossibly pedantic rulekeeper (e.g. a judge, or a teacher, or a parent) who is lecturing you about everything you have done wrong. He stands before the bookshelf of rule books and starts at the bottom, pulling out a book. "First of all, you did this wrong," he says, pointing at a rule in the first book. "Moreover," he says, pulling out the next book, "you also did this wrong." Moreover, and moreover, and moreover, he continues, pulling out each rulebook in turn and pointing out your errors.
