Koohii stories:

1) [rizzo] 21-10-2005(190): We once had a dog with big paws // and oh what great trouble he'd cause // we built a huge pen // to keep him pent in // and stop him from breaking more laws //.

2) [mspertus] 5-7-2006(128): Why is there poop on the kitchen floor? Oh, the cause is that you kept the dog pent in the house all day. Next time remember to walk him.

3) [narazumono] 16-11-2008(113): The cause of the big bang (the ultimate cause) was a very large amount of matter pent in to a point in space.

4) [Alunalun] 3-7-2009(43): Cause is a difficult key word, hard to associate with a concrete image. So let 'cause' be associated with 'first cause'. Let this be the big bang (not worry about what caused that, since people can't decide what it is so it's no use for an image). The first cause, the big bang, is represented by having something large (the universe) pent in inside a tiny space. It's about to explode and cause EVERYTHING.

5) [osaki] 5-3-2007(16): Our cause is to rescue the pent in St. Bernard.
