Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 14-1-2006(123): If you think of the sky as a ceiling above our heads, here you have the heavens as the largest ceiling you could ever imagine. As Heisig pointed out, nothing comes above the ceiling primitive thus the order of primitives is taken care of.

2) [smithsonian] 26-10-2006(48): The ceiling that all large dogs aspire to go to is known as heaven. After all, All Dogs Go to Heaven.

3) [igordesu] 29-11-2008(32): The BIG ONE lives upstairs, in the heavens…

4) [Katsuo] 7-5-2009(20): Tip: 天 and 夭 (heavens and sapling) are different, but RTK confuses them sometimes. The latter appears in numbers 634, 938, 2078, 2079, 2080, and all characters containing angel 喬 (429, 430, 1221, 2104, 2120, 2369).

5) [jmlst79] 2-9-2009(16): Not all dogs go to heaven - only one St. Bernard gets to go (because he's a "Saint" Bernard).
