Koohii stories:

1) [Christine_Tham] 30-7-2007(212): The GROUND at the base of a CLIFF must suffer from enormous pressure.

2) [DrWarrior12] 4-8-2007(52): For physics people: p = F/A (p:pressure, F:Force, A:Area). Where the force is from the immensity of the cliff. The area on the cliff is covered by soil. So the equation becomes p = F/A = cliff/soil which preserves the position of the primitives.

3) [stereovibe] 11-3-2008(38): The cliff exerts a lot of pressure on the ground beneath it.

4) [rasteps] 1-10-2006(24): The taller the cliff, the more pressure on the soil below it.

5) [Ningen] 26-8-2008(10): Be careful of landslides! The soil under the cliff is under enormous PRESSURE.
