Koohii stories:

1) [Crowfoot] 7-6-2008(27): Here we have two people sitting on chairs, trying to set up their camera on a tripod and periodically checking the viewfinder with their eyes.

2) [gfb345] 13-5-2010(4): (NB: I use THREE-LEGGED KETTLE for 鼎 , and reserve TRIPOD for 鬲 Unicode-0x9b32 (#39730 鬲).) This THREE-LEGGED KETTLE is used for sacrificial incense-burning. 鼎 shows a watchful EYE carefully putting the offering material in the opening of the KETTLE, which is shown as being squarely supported ON EACH SIDE.

3) [cameron_en] 2-12-2008(3): Eye (I) really wanted a tripod, so I went into a camera store with two pistols and got everyone to put their hands in the air.

4) [Meconium] 9-3-2010(2): For anyone who's read the series, to me this is a pictograph of one of John Christopher's Tripods, with one large evil glowing eye and a mechanical skeleton around it. http://bit.ly/thetripods.

5) [mantixen] 30-7-2009(1): Your eye looks through the viewfinder as a three-legged tripod supports your camera.
