near

On-Yomi: キン、コン — Kun-Yomi: ちか.い

Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 30-12-2006(261): The end is near. The axe-murderer is waiting for you on the road…

2) [zenkun] 13-3-2006(98): An absurd image, but working for me: two points A and B are separated by a long road. To make A and B near, take an ax, cut a big chunk of road, and the work is done.

3) [javiergakusei] 21-11-2007(60): Hint: Short- cut.

4) [esaulgd] 14-9-2007(28): An axe left in the middle of the road! Dwarves must be near!

5) [Shibo] 7-6-2008(15): When I think of " near ", I always think of that absurd muppet sketch with Grover running back and forth to demonstrate " near " and "far". So, I see grover on the road somewhere and I shout to him and ask him if he can show me " near ". He runs up to me and shouts " Near !"Then I kill him with my axe and sling him over my shoulder. We're having muppet for dinner tonight!Now that you all think I'm insane, you should probably watch this, haha. http://video.aol.com/video-detail/eating-muppets/3865632416.
