Koohii stories:

1) [mukade] 10-7-2007(236): In the beginning were just two who walked on human legs.

2) [Tsuki11] 29-10-2007(71): In the beginning God created woman, and God asked her how she liked his work. Woman replied, "Well, you know how I have two eyes, two arms, two legs… it seems redundant to have three breasts. It would look more symmetrical with two." God nodded, and the middle breast fell off… and it was good. Woman picked up the breast and said, "Thank you, God! But what do I do with this useless boob?" And God created man. That's why the women today only have two boobs to match their two human legs.

3) [smiro] 18-11-2007(46): Every journey begins with your two legs.

4) [Tatiana] 10-10-2006(14): Grandpa Woody always began stories from his youth with "In the beginning, when I had two legs…".
