Her Name Didn't Happen to be Urist, Did It?
« on: March 05, 2010, 02:18:13 pm »

From an article today in Cracked.com:

Quote
One tells of Phung Thi Chinh, a pregnant noblewoman in their army who gave birth on the battlefield, and fought the Chinese with her baby on her back.

Dwarfiest thing ever.  They just needed some magma to complete the picture.

Of course, the real absurdity to any dwarf fortress player is the idea of a noble doing anything more productive than setting mandates.

That's funny I was just reading that article.

But yeah that's a pretty dwarfy thing to do, just replace the chinese with goblins and 'nobleman' with Hammerdwarf and it would be just like DF!

Man she's badass

We now take it as pretty common knowledge that you just don't mess with Vietnam, even if you're an immensely powerful and technologically superior nation. They know kung fu, or something, and apparently every time they get invaded they simply level up.

He was arrested and imprisoned in the brutal Fenestrelle fortress for seven years without charge, and to make things even worse, his former friend Loupian spent that time comforting Pierre's ex-fiance with his penis.
Hilarious.
