Koohii stories:

1) [wasurenaide] 19-12-2008(269): A canopy is a towel to block the suns rays.

2) [shadolite] 18-3-2008(62): From the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Universe: A towel is useful, among other things, as a canopy to keep out the sun's rays from your face while napping.

3) [gorgon] 15-5-2006(36): Picture a cafe in wartime Japan. Its' canopy is made of a big beach towel which has the imperial flag (the one with the sun's rays) printed upon it.

4) [lb4269] 2-3-2006(10): (fighter canopy and tree canopy) Luke Skywalker is flying to see Yoda on Dagobah. He starts to crash, and he pops his canopy and uses a towel as a parachute. He gets stuck in a tree too high to jump down. The sun comes and starts to get very hot. He feels like he will be cooked alive. Yoda comes and tells him to use the Force. Luke concentrates, and he takes a ray of light from the sun and makes it solid. He then climbs down it like it is a pole.

5) [johngwk] 5-8-2010(7): For a CANOPY, we improvised, using a towel to protect us from the sun's rays.
