年事已高

年 = 午 + 丨 + 一 : Nefertiti (ni) is having lunch (午) in the anthill's kitchen (an2). Unfortunately they didn't have any cutlery left so she has to use a dinosaur bone (丨) and a flute (一) instead of fork and knife. It will take her a whole year (年) to finish her lunch this way.

事 = 𠮛 + 彐 + 亅 : Mnemonic symbol: The thing.

事 = 𠮛 + 彐 + 亅 : Sherlock Holmes read a magic scroll in the bathroom of the space station. The scroll promised eternal love to anyone who reads it and wears a pig's nose while doing so, and Sherlock gave it a try. Now he summoned the thing, and he is scared to death! All he has to defend with is a crowbar. However, he never was in danger: Since he is wearing the pig snout, the thing thinks Sherlock is his mommy, and it just wants to cuddle.

已 = ㇖ + 一 + 乚 : Kinda looks like a dredger. Maud Younger wants to dig a tunnel from the space station to earth, so she already used a dredger to dig up the walls just inside the space station. Unfortunately there are a lot of flutes built into the wall, and the dredger is of no use here, so she had to stop. Instead she then has to use a shovel and a sickle to scratch the flutes free and lever them out afterwards.

高 = 亠 + 冋 + 口 : A skyscraper.

高 = 亠 + 冋 + 口 : Just in front of the aorta, a huge skyscraper has been erected. It's an important building, so there's a control checkpoint at the entrance, and Guy Fawkes has been hired to stand guard. To make him look more dangerous, he wears a beret. However there's no-one to check, so Guy Fawkes is bored and eats a mandarin.
