They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

The Greek vermin gods are warning you of the forthcoming "Eschatos", in other words :P

At least its not foretelling the coming of any Lovecratian entities. No one wants Cthulhu visiting their fortress XP

The amount of malice in this thread is actually causing me some concern. I mean, chaining up mothers and forcing them to breed, just so we can drown their children to harvest their organs? Does this strike no one else as absolutely horrific?
You misspelled 'hilarious'

r†sh, dwarven word for death.

Perhaps your dwarves are simply too illiterate to spell it properly.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

If you accidentally lock the elves in the depot and wait until they're insane to capture them in cages and then lock the next group of elves in the depot and unleash the insane elves from their cages, that's still somehow your fault.
