Koohii stories:

1) [AndamanIslander] 23-2-2008(198): Making a dike is all about arranging the soil just so….

2) [dihutenosa] 30-8-2007(73): The little Dutch boy has his finger stuck in the dike, and that's the only thing keeping his town from going under. He really really needs to go to the bathroom though, so he devises a plan to carefully add a bit of dirt - there, place individual bits in just so - there, I think it's good enough. Pull it out —–yes! Success!

3) [ihatobu] 9-8-2007(44): Imagine Indiana Jones replacing a gemstone with a small bag of soil. If he doesn't weigh the soil just so, a huge dike behind the wall will break, washing him away.

4) [mezbup] 30-11-2008(38): Dikes are just so dirty.

5) [nolusu] 16-7-2007(24): The dike was very close to breaking. The people worked all day bringing earth/soil to mend it.
