Koohii stories:

1) [mameha1977] 27-9-2007(194): A piece of metal with a name on it. Well, this is basically the definition of inscription.

2) [NooNoo] 28-4-2008(35): I imagine ancient Egyptian inscriptions: Pharaohs' names written in gold.

3) [elmaestrokgb] 23-5-2009(17): The gold ring I gave her had an old girlfriend's name written inside. Here's hoping she doesn't notice the inscription.

4) [sannomiya] 17-4-2007(8): INSCRIPTIONS are done on GOLD plaques by writing your NAME on it.

5) [skellyfish] 15-12-2008(7): If you've got some METAL and you want to put a NAME on it, you've got no choice but to use an inscription - everything else will rub off or fail to stick in the first place. (Imagine a bunch of people trying to write on metal with pencils, pens, etc. and then one guy with a Eureka moment thinking of inscription).
