Koohii stories:

1) [CharleyGarrett] 24-4-2007(45): Much more stately than that soil podium, this is made of ice. You can still see the dude standing behind it in his top hat, and he still spouts pretty much nonsense as many times as he can, but you have to admit his showy altar is quite stately.

2) [astridtops] 3-1-2007(13): This stately home in Brittain has been used for winter weddings many times. A reverend in a top hat stands behind the altar in the home's chapel, which is adorned with ice sculptures. Very romantic.

3) [n1williams] 11-10-2009(6): One can have a STATELY wedding in Hell, Norway. Stunning ICE sculptures all around, a TOP HAT clad wedding chapel reverend performing weddings many TIMES a day behind a frozen ALTAR. (Thanks astridtops) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Norway for more info.

4) [kioku3] 19-7-2009(3): Abe Lincoln visited the state of Minnesota in January 1863, and decided to give his speech from an ice altar at an unheated but stately church instead of a soil podium. It was a stately speech in the coldest state of the Union.

5) [faneca] 14-7-2012(1): [See 禀Unicode-0x7980 (#31104 禀), 稟Unicode-0x7a1f (#31263 稟): Chosen keywords: Salary in rice, disposition. Willy Wonka holds a meeting consultation with the oompa loompas to inspect their disposition to earn their salary in wheat. But they don't seem very eager: they drop the wheat and put Willy Wonka over the evil altar…]. Wonka then uses his baton to press a button and lower the temperature: the oompa loompas stay iced while he gets himself up on the altar and pretends to look stately.
