Apparently ripping out those rubber gaskets is one of their favorite things.

I really detest swarms of the giant ones and am very glad those don't actually exist.

That's nothin'. The keas didn't even steal his windscreen wiper blades!

You try a goanna. Walking back from the showers at a camp once, I went past a goanna carrying a whole dressed raw chicken in its jaws. I walked a little further, and found a family standing around their fancy tent, with two goanna-shaped holes. The goanna had gone in one side, taken the chicken out of the box it was defrosting in, and gone out the other. It was the first time I realised I lived in the land of the dinosaurs, 'cos 3 metre lizards can steal my food any time they choose.

Thisfox likes aquifers, olivine, Forgotten Beasts for their imagination, & dorfs for their stupidity. She prefers to consume gin & tonic. She absolutely detests Facebook.

LOL, land of the dinosaurs. That sounds like Australia? Goanna is one big damn lizard.

So many of my early embarks had, "A kea has stolen a wheelbarrow!"

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

"A giant kea has stolen a lead statue."

At least I'd only made those things to use up lead and maybe skill up the dwarf making them before moving to better metals.  But still.  Up yours, giant keas.

Whenever physics gets updated so falling objects can hurt and kill properly, those lead statues are getting put on suspension bridges over top of the entrance, right?

For now, though, when I'm in a pan-denominational mood, they go into tiny little temples for every god some idiot dwarf is bummed about not being able to worship.
