Koohii stories:

1) [Nukemarine] 19-8-2007(183): At the BUDDHIST TEMPLE you'll see wonderous things, such as the priest that can HOLD himself upside down with just a FINGER.

2) [Tweenk] 10-4-2007(88): In Kyaiktiyo, there is rocking stone which sits on the edge of a cliff, and there is a Buddhist temple built on the top of it. You can rock the stone by pushing it with your finger, but it still holds in place. It's true, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyaiktiyo.

3) [mayutaka8985] 13-8-2008(76): At a Buddhist temple people hold their fingers together in prayer.

4) [the_marshal] 2-10-2007(34): Imagine a group of Japanese ppl visiting. What could their FINGERS possibly be doing while being in a TEMPLE – HOLDING a camera.

5) [sarek05] 11-7-2008(30): Did you see Kung Fu Panda? Just picture Po in the dojo/temple freaking out as Master Shifu has him in that devestating finger hold.
