Koohii stories:

1) [Howdoken] 4-1-2008(163): I guess this kanji proves it's not just the Welsh whose idea of beauty is a large sheep.

2) [narafan] 25-7-2007(75): A Sheep on top of a dog is NOT a beautiful thing.

3) [axelb] 15-6-2008(55): Who is more beautiful, a sheep or a st. Bernhard dog? Imagine a big contest with many judges, then let the sheep win, since it is on top in the kanji (perhaps even let the sheep ride on the st. Bernhard dog because it won).

4) [ihatobu] 23-8-2007(42): Sheep dogs are beautiful animals.

5) [dingomick] 15-2-2007(23): (Image: a bunch of big sheep in a beauty pageant, bikinis and evening dresses and all).
