Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 20-1-2006(200): Funny.. this appeared to me as a pictograph of a samurai's armor. Then I looked up images of the samurai armor and it is not even remotely similar. Then I realised it looks in fact like the belly of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which I somehow associated with the samurai armor because of the "turtle samurai" that appeared earlier. Fits me. The bit that pokes down is to protect the genitals, I guess.

2) [ruisu] 21-11-2007(156): It looks like a bird's eye view of a tank (modern armor).

3) [synewave] 22-8-2006(60): Pictograph. Kendo visor with chin guard.

4) [Wile_e42] 17-4-2008(36): Armour weighs you down like you’re rooted to the ground.

5) [Viking101] 4-1-2010(14): Looks like an armored helmet. You have the part that protects the brain and a little line beneath that acts as a nose guard.
