Koohii stories:

1) [Zactacular] 17-9-2007(211): Because I hid myself behind a huge dirt barrier I dug, I was able to withstand the tremendous nuclear blast.

2) [dingomick] 26-4-2007(64): Plain old soil can withstand tremendous amounts of pressure.

3) [Nuriko] 2-4-2008(37): The two equal chessplayers from the last two frames are duking it out still. Part of this extreme chess match is when the judges dump a huge mound of soil onto them. Watch as they withstand the weight of the dirt and how their brainpower keeps all the chess pieces, rooks and all, on the board. Simply astounding.

4) [BigAmish] 15-8-2008(33): The Japanese high-rise was built to WITHSTAND GROUND tremors of TREMENDOUS force!

5) [rtkrtk] 7-2-2008(6): Though I had lost both rooks in chess, a tremendous loss, I was able to hold my ground on the chessboard and withstand my opponent's attacks.
