Koohii stories:
1) [RoboTact] 4-3-2007(210): If you dig with your fingers hard enough, soil eventually yields.
2) [matticus] 10-12-2005(52): When you dig, you'd better hope that whatever you're digging into yields to your fingers. If not, you're bound to lose some nails.
3) [b0ng0] 28-1-2009(47): When you yield in battle, the enemy will often take you prisoner to execute you. While you are waiting, try to use your fingers to dig a tunnel out of their prison!
4) [peacemik] 1-7-2008(25): In contrast to the soldiers who yielded, exiting with the white flag in the previous frame, these soldiers refused to yield. In fact, they gave the enemy the finger. They dug a tunnel under enemy lines and took them by surprise from behind.
