Heisig story:

You may play with the primitives of this kanji as you wish (ceiling . . . person . . . a drop of), but you will probably find that its simplicity, and its frequency, make it easy to remember just as it is.

Koohii stories:

1) [laner36] 24-9-2007(194): [Smithsonian] Scene: Mr. T hanging from the ceiling being tortured. He is asked if he is going to talk. Spitting (a drop of saliva) in the torturer's face, he says "Negative".

2) [Thunderball] 20-8-2007(45): One below zero is a negative number.

3) [ruuku35] 4-6-2006(29): If just ONE PERSON has a DROP of NEGATIVITY it can make everyone NEGATIVE.

4) [FoxintheStars] 22-1-2011(13): A minus sign with an arrow pointing up at it, indicating that this is the symbol that means negative.

5) [owenjd] 9-11-2008(12): Anything smaller than 1 is negative.
