Koohii stories:

1) [mikemikepw] 19-9-2007(166): A space cadet eager to make one bend around the sun. (a dangerous maneuver).

2) [diracbracket] 23-12-2008(134): Bender lasted just one day in the space cadets.

3) [elmaestrokgb] 19-6-2009(49): Japanese cadets have to constantly do one thing–bend OVER all day, bowing to their superiors.

4) [fuaburisu] 25-10-2005(41): Hint : As a primitive I use the image of Bender the robot from the animated series "Futurama" (by the same creator as "The Simpsons"). Here Bender is a cadet at the army, and the sergeant who is blinded by the sun reflected on Bender's metallic body, keeps saying "this cadet is one -insert random expletive- bender of the sun!" (meaning Bender bends the sun's rays).

5) [dihutenosa] 12-9-2007(22): This is from back in Bender's early days, when he was a promising young space cadet at the evil empire academy. He had one task - blow up one sun. One. Sun. That they had set up for him beforehand. Well, he ended up blowing up the entire solar system his outfit was stationed in. When he got called in for a meeting, the commander said: "Cadet Bender, you were asked to blow up one sun. At this rate, you'll never be more than a cadet". Bender: "Screw this, I'm outta here".
