Koohii stories:

1) [Spidercat] 19-12-2007(161): Think RPG. The wizard points his finger to the guard and the ivy he has just animated with his magic wand climbs down the wall to hang the poor guy, opening the way for the adventurers into the dungeon.

2) [darg_sama] 10-10-2005(105): 3 ways you could hang something: 1) the normal way, with your finger putting something on a hook or whatever, 2) hanging from a vine the natural way, or 3) by means of the magic of the wand.

3) [Danieru] 28-5-2008(82): This kanji depicts 3 different ways to hang something: using your fingers, using hanging ivy/rope, or with the flick of a magic wand. (much thanks to Darg Sama!).

4) [Lozza] 28-9-2008(44): Naked Tarzan is swinging through the jungle, gripping the ivy with his fingers, his wand hanging out.

5) [CountPacula] 8-8-2009(21): (Warning - really grotesque image ahead - Warning) Use your fingers to wrap the ivy rope around the convict's neck, and then see if there is any truth to the story about a man's, ahem, magic wand becoming swollen when executed by hanging.
