Koohii stories:

1) [noname] 26-2-2008(176): This kanji is used commonly as a counter for small animals. This is a pictograph of a SMALL ANIMAL'S view from inside a CARDBOARD BOX looking out at his masters HUMAN LEGS. He's probably hiding so the master does not COUNT him with the other animals which will probably be eaten (thus he avoids everyones EQUAL fate on the farm: the kitchen table).

2) [CountPacula] 21-7-2008(97): Put a box over everyone's heads, letting only the legs show, and we all look pretty much equal.

3) [Matthew] 30-6-2006(58): Imagine a magician doing that trick where he puts his assistant in a box and proceeds to saw her in half. Don’t the human legs sticking horizontally out of the box remind you of an equal sign?

4) [alantin] 10-7-2008(32): Four minus one stroke is equal to..?

5) [Tzadeck] 16-8-2009(28): 4 - 1 = this kanji.
