Koohii stories:

1) [yukkuri_kame] 6-4-2009(218): Hesig should be BOUND for a DAY (or maybe 10 days - a decameron) for calling this Kanji DECAMERON. See martyrdom (#809 殉).

2) [Pulse] 18-3-2012(165): Hint: Here's info from Wikipedia regarding why this kanji exists, which helped me remember it: [Japan also divides the month roughly into three 10-day periods. Each is called a jun ( 旬 ). The first is jōjun ( 上旬 ); the second, chūjun ( 中旬 ); the last, gejun ( 下旬 ). These are frequently used to indicate approximate times, for example, "the temperatures are typical of the jōjun of April"; "a vote on a bill is expected during the gejun of this month."].

3) [blahdi] 8-9-2009(85): What the fuck?

4) [Christine_Tham] 22-7-2007(70): If you bind up ten days, you get a decameron.

5) [panikbuton] 20-1-2008(33): For producing Titanic, James deCameron should be bound for 10 days.
