Koohii stories:

1) [nest0r] 10-11-2007(296): 10,000 Persians are at the base of the cliff, but the leader of the 300 Spartans just flexes his huge muscles and encourages his men by shouting that they have the power to fight them all.

2) [samuize] 21-7-2007(71): People encourage you, giving you the power so you can dive off the 10,000m high cliff into the sea.

3) [dukelexon] 13-2-2008(56): See the most-starred story in horse chestnut (#514 栃) for an easy way to remember this one. –> That same famous cliffside in Japan at which 10,000 people died … together, we have the power to do something about it … let's encourage the government to take action!

4) [eltjopoort] 8-6-2008(54): 10,000 lemmings, an invisible power seems to be encouraging them to dive off the cliff.

5) [yukkuri_kame] 9-4-2009(33): All of you on this site encourage me so much. Japanese no longer seems like an impossible cliff 10,000 meters high. Thanks to the encouragement I've gotten here, I have the POWER to learn 10,000 Kanji!
