Koohii stories:

1) [Ricardo] 29-6-2006(224): Busy (as in "occupied") means a state of mind where all other thoughts are perished.

2) [dingomick] 28-5-2010(104): ^^^Make the "state of mind" primitive Data (from Star Trek) instead right now and save yourself the headache; 'state of mind' is too vague! (Data can stay so busy as not to sleep without dying. He's a robot).

3) [jackhuddleston] 2-5-2008(71): Some people who are workaholics say, "I can rest when I'm dead." That is the sort of state of mind a busy person has!

4) [AndamanIslander] 17-2-2008(41): Poor Japanese people are so busy. They work like 80 hour weeks! Slowly, you see them turn into automatons…their bodies still alive, but their state of mind like they've long ago perished… (Mental image: most stressed out salaryman you know.).

5) [vosmiura] 1-6-2007(24): As others have suggested, I personified "state of mind" as the android, Data from here on. He is constanly analysing humans and emotions, plus he has an overactive mind for good measure. — Data's is busy trying to understand why do humans perish (die). — (If it helps bring Data to mind, think of "Data-base is busy, please try again later").
