It's what minecart physics says, and I'm sticking to it.

Bronze Collosuses actually occupy 2x2x3x1.666666... meters in space :P

Minecart physics defined the dimensions of a tile to be 2x2x3 meters, but in the words of Toady One, "it wouldn't make any fewer dragons fit in the tile though".

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Tiles are magical empty cubes that stretch to accomadate whatever is inside them yet still show it as the same size as the rest of the tiles. Now I wanna mod in chess-themed megabeasts.
