Carp Pedicure

39C is awesome.  I hadn't been playing for awhile, then I got a new laptop with a Centrino vPro Core2 Duo.

First fortress got set alight by a dragon and it's been burning for well nigh a year (periodically dwarves light up again if they go near the trade depot which apparently is superheated...I'd love to see a dwarven "thermometer" that I could build to detect the temperature.)

I decided to build a new world and try tweaking the params a little to give more volcanism.  I was rewarded with a hilly region with a magma vent, a named cave, and an underground pool.

We could totally ruin a business like that. Just sitting outside... "hey, did you hear what happened to Urist?" "No, I didn't!" "Foot torn off by a carp while swimming in the river." "Whoa! Is she alright?" "We've been bringing her food and water, but she's getting pretty miserable."

Also, The Sentinel? I just got that newspaper while I was up in Shippensburg, PA. I think.

What exactly did your story have to do with the article?
But whatever the case, it's still pretty funny (for a DFer) to hear about people using carp to get a pedicure...
