Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 11-10-2005(210): A huge index finger coming down from the sky is kicking boulders of rock, clearing the land. Maybe it's the finger of God preparing a place for his little people to live.

2) [nakome] 1-3-2008(89): I imagine clearing the land in order to set up your tent after a long day of backpacking. Using your fingers, you pick up all of the rocks and get them out of the way so that you can get a comfortable night sleep. If you don't clear the land you can just picture the rock sticking into your back as you toss and turn all night long.

3) [Francois] 17-4-2008(58): To clear the land, farmers use their fingers to get the stones out.

4) [sutebun] 18-10-2007(23): Clear the land reminds me of that game Harvest Moon and all those stones in the farm he had to pick up with his bare fingers to make room for crops. Until you get the might of the dwarves gloves to enhance your fingers grip ability (last explanation is to distinguish this from polish).

5) [undead_saif] 10-6-2009(15): Easy one, Palestinian children keep trying to clear (the land) from hostile Israelis by throwing STONES on them with their FINGERS. (http://www.axisoflogic.com/artman/uploads/faris-odeh2.jpg).
