Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 11-3-2007(286): A whole team of cops is sent to investigate how a tree could grow on top of a shelf with no soil or water.

2) [zazen666] 9-10-2007(86): The result of the inverstigation of the missing Trees? Why, most of them had become shelfs!

3) [Hujis] 2-5-2009(43): Police suspected that some wooden shelves had come from illigaly lumbered timber in the Amazon. They launched an investigation in to the matter. "Trees are more important than shelves and therefore should be placed on top" A spokesman for the police said in an interview.

4) [blaked569] 18-3-2009(20): Why the hell would a tree be growing on a shelf? Time to investigate. Also time to think up a story that makes more damn sense.

5) [Tzadeck] 19-8-2009(5): I have a little potted tree sitting on my shelf, and I found a note in it that said "You will die in 3 days." So, naturally I try to figure out who put it there! Dave Chappelle did a comedy special way back (1997) where he does an impression of a white guy in a horror movie with just one line, 'I'd better investigate!' That would be me in this situation.
