Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 12-10-2005(191): Sickness-missiles are being engineered by bio-terrorists to spread epidemics all over the world. Imagine seeing footage of a place where those sickness-missiles are built : rows after rows of missiles, and if you look closely on each is inscribed in tiny letters the name of different sickness such as "flu", "plague", etc.

2) [Chadokoro_K] 18-8-2007(69): SICKNESS / MISSILE ** Hint: True fact about biochemical warfare: in the medieval and ancient world, SICKNESS in the form of the corpses of those who had died from some EPIDEMIC or plague were often hurled at the enemy via the crude MISSILE launchers of the time. [C].

3) [Howdoken] 15-5-2008(39): When CAVEMAN first fashions a primitive MISSILE and kills a mammoth with it, the technique spreads like an EPIDEMIC across the inhabited world.

4) [delenir] 9-12-2009(14): An EPIDEMIC is a SICKNESS that hits like MISSLES.

5) [Meconium] 21-5-2009(12): When a sick caveman sneezes, the germs shoot out of his mouth like a missile. Ironically, this biological missile is much more deadly than any spear the caveman could throw, especially if it results in an epidemic.
