Koohii stories:

1) [AndamanIslander] 3-2-2008(270): Mirror should suggest vanity. Imagine a spoiled girl who gets her parents to buy her a Golden mirror so she can stand in front of it all day vainly admiring her lovely human legs.

2) [digicult] 16-4-2009(23): The metal mirror makes a sound - it's answering the question "who has the fairest human legs of all?".

3) [tritonxginnenglish] 5-10-2006(23): metal + stand up + sun + legs remember the legend of Amaterasu who retired in a cave. the other Gods brought a MIRROR made of polished METAL at the entrance of the cave. Amaterasu who was STANDING UP saw her image of the SUN and began to dance with her LEGS.

4) [matt_jenkins] 13-4-2008(12): Remember how Archimedes burnt an approaching fleet with mirrors? Mirrors then were metal and the sailors must have thought: "What're those metal things up there, standing on the city walls? They look like little suns on human legs. Warm today isn't it?".

5) [Codexus] 9-12-2007(11): WARNING: Be extra careful not to confuse the sun/tongue-wagging mouth and human legs part of the mirror primitive with 見 see (#57 見).
