Koohii stories:
1) [johnskb] 30-3-2006(157): Have you heard about patients who have surgery and the doctor mistakenly leaves a medical instrument INSIDE the patient’s body and proceeds to stitch up the patient’s incisions with stitching THREAD? Can you say “malpractice SETTLEMENT”? .
2) [gdaxeman] 2-1-2008(130): Spider-Man was working as a surgeon's assistant. By accident, he threw his spider webs inside the patient, causing his death. Fortunately, the hospital reached an out-of-court settlement with the victim's family.
3) [samuize] 6-2-2008(100): Another twist on the same theme: malpractise settlement for leaving a plastic spiderman inside patient.
4) [tristanthorn] 18-3-2009(50): Spiderman was caught hanging upside down inside the girls changing room. The resulting public backlash and court-settlement were embarassing, but he still thinks it was worth it.
5) [DavidZ] 29-6-2010(24): Natto ( 納豆 ) is fermented soybeans. One theory about the name says it was used as a form of payment to settle debts to your lord. Picture the little styrofoam natto package and when you open it up it's full of threads of sticky, stringy goo inside… 納金 [のうきん] payment 、納品 [のうひん] 、納得 [なっとく] 、納める [おさめる].
