Hearts don't actually do anything but bleed a lot, IIRC.
Pretty much. You can walk off a severed heart in adventure mode.

Then, i guess that having the heart quirurgically removed is actually an advantage to a military dwarf, since is a weak point less to care
about.

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.

Wait! I can say through my own experience that hearts are indeed a necessary organ!

One time, I got bored, and made hearts [UNDER_PRESSURE] for no reason.
When I chopped someone in the chest, their heart obviously popped out.
Chopping the heart off caused the subject to INSTANTLY die.

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

I look forward to the day when Urist McMedicalTestSubject's heart will be able to be replaced with metal. I mean, the only thing that really matters to a dwarf is its beard, right?

And what about clean shaven dwarfs

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'

No, they bleed out very, very quickly. In the time it takes a Dwarf to take 5 steps, at most, that Dwarf will have bled to death.

what if your dwarf is 2 feet from the hospital bed, then the doctor is right beside him healing him?

We all know that the minute that dwarf hits the hospital bed Urist McSurgeon is going to remember he has a sock that needs to be placed in a cabinet.

If he somehow manages to clean, suture the wound and staunch the bleeding then that Dwarf could live. That'd take one legendary MD though.

Well, there was that time I grafted molten adamantine onto my military dorf by dropping wafers god knows how far into water. I'm not even sure if it worked, but globs of molten adamantine were definitly sticking to their flesh.

I sort of think of a dwarf brain as an extension of the beard. The beard is what really controls the dwarf. However, some dwarfs prefer to limit their beards to inside their head. It must be some weird aspect of dwarf culture. Basically, the beard still exists even if it is not growing outside of the head.

It's not like female dwarves didn't have beards. It is just not on their chins.

The weredwarf Urist McUrist has come! A bearded drunkard twisted into minute form. It is crazed for booze and socks. Its unwashed beard is tangled. It needs alcohol to get through the working day and has gone without a drink for far too long. Now you will know why you fear the mines.

Et tu, Urist

I was going to put a picture here, but the knowledge you have given me a mindfucked image should be enough for you to get your daily lulz.
