故 = 古 + 攵 : Mnemonic symbol: This character only appears in 做, so we don't need a strong mnemonic symbol. We should be able to refer to 故 when we think of 故事 or 故意. Because it fits nicely to its components, I'll think of it as in the meaning of 故墓, an old grave.

故 = 古 + 攵 : There is an ancient cloister in the space station's bathroom, and Gitta Giraffe once heard a story from her fellow astronauts that there's an old tomb inside with lots of treasure. One day she can't hold herself back anymore and deliberately breaks the cloister open using a sledgehammer.

纵 = 从 + 纟 : Zapatista Zebra (zu) is weaving a small blanket in the engine's bathroom ((e)ng4). As horizontal threads he uses silk worms (纟), and as vertical (纵) threads he uses rubber chicken (从).
