Koohii stories:

1) [abaddon] 31-5-2008(42): Word, needle, fishhook: The prisoner didn't speak a word in response to our query, so we got out our needles and fishhooks to get things going.

2) [cameron_en] 28-11-2008(9): I needed to query as to how much ten fishhooks costs so I said to the shopkeeper "How much for ten fishhooks?".

3) [SimHuman] 21-3-2010(4): Did you know that when you run a search query in Google, they probe web sites for your words using needles and fish hooks? True story!

4) [woelpad] 8-7-2008(4): If I want to know if the primitives ten and fish hook were used previously, I query my spreadsheet with the words given, and find swift (#280 迅). Well, well, that was a swift answer.

5) [gfb345] 6-6-2010(1): The reporter's QUERIES are uncomfortable: his WORDs are as sharp as FISHHOOKs, as incisive as CARPET NEEDLES. (I use the CARPET NEEDLE primitive also in 絨 carpet yarn (#2657 絨)).
