Spoiler: Announcement (click to show/hide)

A two-month old baby in my fort was attacked by a

ripping open it's throat and upper left leg. While horribly maimed, the parents don't seem to mind the fact that the baby is covered in it's own blood.

The baby won't clean himself either. PTSD maybe?

That's traditional dwarven parenting.

"It'll make the kid stronger. Don't clean him."


Hehe, I had the same problem with a dwarf who had went mad with melancholy after being unable to complete his strange mood (I never did figure out what the hell he wanted, said shell but I had turtle shells everywhere). He spammed that message every couple seconds until he starved to death.

Dwarven babies clean themselves? Can they do simple sums, too?

If you really wanted, I suppose you could engineer the classic dwarven shower.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

Don't be silly - it's perfectly possible to construct a dwarfputer capable of basic arithmetic using only mechanisms, doors, and babies.

Am I the only one here that notices the baby is "too" insane to clean itself?  Implying that all dwarves are insane but not TOO insane to do things.

Of course, we all knew this already.

With [SLOW_LEARNER], dwarves probably don't sit around and talk anymore. They just stand in the same corner altogether, staring at each other, sticking their bearded lips out trying to make sounds. And giggling when someone actually says a whole word.
