I think I found out how Carp work...

I think this news article explains why carp and other large fish used to be so deadly to dwarves.  Toady must have forgotten to code them not to bite off more than they can chew... :P

I think this news article

The BBC cited the daily mail as a reference in that article... I just lost a lot of respect for them :/
