Or is it the other way around?

Stone Age figurines from Russia: Archaeologists excavating a site near Moscow have found figurines and carvings dating back to the Stone Age - somewhere around 10,000 to 40,000 years ago. The artifacts include two female-looking figurines, a mammoth rib inscribed with pictures of what appear to be mammoths, and a mysterious cone-shaped object.

Reminds me of mugs inscribed with mugs or dwarves drinking.

Now they just need to find wall-carvings of people carving walls while surrounded by people.

Here's a masterwork statue of, uh, a female dwarf ...

(Don't be offended. The statue is around 23.000 years old and may be connected to some kind of fertility rite; whoever made this also didn't know bras or anorexic models yet.)

Huh?

Oh wait I see the link in the qoute.  Weird I wonder why it didnt work at first.

I remember I went on a boyscout campout sometime this year and as soon as we arrived the following orders were issued by our leader-guy

"You three get to chopping wood, you three pile the wood up over there. You four start setting up some tents. That group over there, you should start set up the main tent and cook dinner. Those 5 should go store our supplies under that tree over there, etc." it was amazing, all I could think was 'Oh, gee, Dwarf Fortress'

Ha, You got caught in Boy Scout Fortress.

 leader-guy: Alright, break out the picks boys! hopefully by sundown we can dig out proper lodgings for ourselves and a store-room. Tomorrow we shall start on the underground farms!
 Scout: But how will we dig all that?
 leader-guy: YOU WILL DIG OR BE HAMMERED! NOW DIG!

Laughed out loud man.  Nice.

I was waiting for a new iteration of DF to start playing again but I guess I'll just get back to it...

That article talks about the statue being connected with mushrooms and fertility.  Obviously we are dealing with a dwarven fertility cult.  No wonder dwarven women have so many children once they start.

Why is it that the more squat/portly women (dorf women?) always end up with such huge.... tracts of land? I'm jealous.

I searched "vicious carp attack" and only ended up with random forum posts. Searching the news for "Fish attack" only led me to insane beauty practices. Darn.

[Muz]

"insane beauty practices"? Dude, where I live, every single shopping mall has at least one of those fish spas. Even the small suburban shopping malls. Hmm.. where I live there are shopping malls in the suburbs too

Pfft.. with real dwarves, you need only one guy to build the tent and one guy to chop wood. The remaining guys will be practicing wrestling in case any foxes come to eat you.

[umiman]

Hmm... boy scout wrestling, Dwarf Fortress style.
