Koohii stories:

1) [astridtops] 8-5-2007(71): "Look", says the teacher in biology class. "The spinal column holds your flesh together, just like the metal rod of this umbrella (he demonstrates this with an umbrella covered in I-Ching symbols) holds the umbrella together".

2) [sgrant] 27-4-2009(31): A pictograph of a spinal column. The umbrella representing the shoulder blades, the I Ching as the shoulder muscles and the part of the body as the spine itself.

3) [FutureBlues] 6-10-2008(10): The spinal column functions in the same way the rod does in an umbrella… To hold one's umbrella of flesh together, much like the I Ching does for the universe.

4) [mantixen] 21-7-2009(8): In a horrific accident, a body part got jammed in the grill of my car: a spinal column!

5) [timcampbell] 28-1-2008(6): When my Korean girlfriend (from the I CHING symbols on the Korean flag) stands under an UMBRELLA and stretches her BODY, you can see the outline of her spinal column.
