Lightbulb? Dwarves don't use lightbulbs!

They use flashy disco-light gemstone windows, made from multiple gemstones!
(And it only takes one to install.)

How many dwarves does it take to change a light bulb?

Seven. One to unscrew it and six to clean up limbs of the first guy, who was standing on top of the light bulb when he unscrewed it.

A whole fort, to create a way of automatically changing it via enslaved elves, goblins, and mermaids, plus abused children and magma.

It doesn't matter, they're all going to go insane before they finish the job because their pet peahen was devoured by a horde of hungry heads.

Coldmonkey: "The idea that having flaming tools and introducing them to the intimate workings of someone you don't get along with is much too human for these forums. I mean, it's not really that hard, is it? Anyone can wield a torch, it doesn't prove anything. Wearing flaming clothes on the other hand, or better yet, wearing nothing at all and being on fire... that is the essence of dwarfish behavior."

Dwarves are just like real people. If you can get past your moral scruples you can manipulate them into doing anything.

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.
I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

I started a new job at a home improvement store two weeks ago, and from the looks of my department, my coworkers are very dwarven in that sense. One of them is constantly on break. Another has two labors enabled and only does one of them. The third is the bookkeeper (a.k.a. department manager) and is constantly updating the records. And don't get me staryed on my previous job, with the baroness's mandates and the mayor tantruming about stuff once or twice a month.

We must raise money. DF needed a legal defense fund eventually anyway. Concerned parents will find us eventually.

just watch from far away so you don't get your skull jammed though your brain by a spinning wool cloth shirt.

Do they ever get any strange moods?

Mine freaked out when they could see survivors in my death pit even though there wasn't any way to path to them.
