Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 28-8-2007(249): A black hole is a "House of Infinity". Infinity is of course represented by a sideways "8", but here we have a Japanese "8" instead.

2) [zz_alex_zz] 19-2-2008(105): Billiards anyone? House rules here state that the first person to pot the eight ball into the hole wins the game.

3) [montecristo73] 20-7-2009(20): What good is it to buy a house with 8 holes in the ceiling? (The kanji for 8 also looks like water flowing from the ceiling.).

4) [fuaburisu] 15-8-2006(15): I think of people playing on a mini golf course. One player is frustrated because the ball got stuck into a house (a small building decoration), and ends up doing a "hole-in-eight" instead of a hole-in-one.

5) [jackhuddleston] 19-5-2008(11): I came home one day to find that termites had eight my entire house… nothing but a hole left.
