Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 30-12-2005(117): Referring to a scene in the movie "The Matrix" where a girl bends a spoon with the power of her mind alone, I imagine Mister T who changes a spoon into something else (maybe the waiter forgot to bring knives or forks). Note: as a primitive, it can help to use the image of "spare change", this can help you keep it distinct from other similar kanji such as "shape" or "turn into".

2) [ezmoreldo] 3-4-2008(95): I just see this one as a pictograph of a person changing position and sitting down.

3) [radical_tyro] 17-6-2007(64): Mr. T reaches into his wallet for some spare change but it has all changed into spoons.

4) [Valkyrie] 3-11-2008(32): MR. T can change a SPOON into a spork using only his teeth.

5) [partyrash] 22-1-2008(16): You'd be a changed man if Chuck Norris spooned you!
