Koohii stories:

1) [FudoMyo] 4-5-2007(203): A museum display of two walking sticks bound together under a glass canopy, showing the first device used to measure an angle.

2) [dihutenosa] 29-12-2007(36): [+nuke] As a primitive, a boomerang. This boomerang is used to grab a bunch of meat, or flesh, lying around on the ground at a farm. First, you throw it straight at a walking stick, then it makes a right angle and goes to walking stick number two, and wraps around that. A quick tug, and you've got all the flesh flying toward you contained in that triangle. Hooray for free (stolen) food!

3) [Ricardo] 30-6-2007(27): [angle; corner; square; horn; antlers] I needed to measure an angle, so I improvised a rudimentary protractor by bounding up a walking stick to some body part of mine.

4) [Nukemarine] 8-12-2007(16): The ANGLE of a Boomerang? BOUND UP, thrown by the BODY, but is not a WALKING STICK thanks to that 90 degree ANGLE in each one. So as a primitive, use Boomerang.

5) [ezmoreldo] 30-6-2008(8): If you bind up a circle with a rope, tied tightly it will have angles.
