Koohii stories:

1) [herman] 31-12-2008(27): Wtf terminate? This is "ball". Use "leather ball" for keyword, imagine a leather american football packed with bound up rice.

2) [mantixen] 29-7-2009(14): Rice bound up with leather makes a good hacky sack. The game terminates when the ball touches the ground. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemari.

3) [Megaqwerty] 17-7-2007(5): To terminate the Terminator, we bound-up his rice with some leather and watched him starve to death. I can't find anything in regards to how this means "terminate", just balls.

4) [gavmck] 21-3-2010(2): This kanji actually means "ball" but since we already have ball (#935 球) 球 how about "medicine ball" - traditionally sand (or in this case rice) wrapped in leather. To link this with terminate: An oversize "medicine ball" is used as a wrecking ball to terminate old buildings.

5) [blannk] 20-12-2009(2): To terminate use of this key word we bound up a kilo of rice in leather & took turns using it as a ball to knock over terminate with. (+w/respect herman).
