Koohii stories:

1) [Virtua_Leaf] 20-1-2008(191): One day a row of Suns appeared in the sky, turning everyone's heads upwards.

2) [RoboTact] 13-8-2007(57): Clouds were covering the sky for months now. Rows upon rows of people spent whole days with their heads turned upwards, waiting for sun to appear.

3) [Perry] 27-4-2010(29): When the sun comes up, a row of severed heads appears on the castle wall. Think medieval times, they put the heads of dead enemies on show at each sunrise to intimidate.

4) [raulir] 30-12-2006(20): When a row of suns appears in your head, you are enlightened. (Note: this can also mean "to become apparent", i.e. something hidden coming to light. E.g. 顕在 /潜在 are opposites, and 露顕 is "to get found out").

5) [Katsuo] 19-3-2010(17): Get up early and watch the sun appear through a row of heads at Easter Island. (See photo at http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii258/KatsuoB/EasterIsland.jpg).
