They shave the trolls like sheep to get their fur, its not a pelt.
Its just like giving a sheep a wool sweater.
Skin would be troll leather clothing, which I don't think goblins have but I could be wrong.

Ah, I don’t know how trolls work. Thank you

No Problemo.

When properly constructed, interior obsidian farms also act as waterfall rooms.

Basically, make sure to fill with magma, then water, not the other way around, and make sure there's some water left over on top. Then when the dwarves carve their ramps, all leftover water will give mist, even though all it's doing is following the digging of the ramp.

Depraved was kind of a deliberate exaggeration for comedic effect. It just seems weird, is all (much like giving a sheep a wool sweater, as you mentioned).

@uncool: You can get similar effect if you pond a bucketful of water into the 1x1 exploratory stairway your miner digs.

Leopard people will wear little leopard-size socks and shoes... on their hands.

Tiny little kitty booties
On their hands
This is just the most adorable thing
I am so happy right now

Oh. ...Oh.
That's... disappointing. 

But tiny little leopard mittens are still adorable
That is a legitimate finding

Thank you for posting that, this was nice to see.

I think I have seen troll leather equipment on some invaders, as well as leatherware made from various animal people.

That should be perfectly fine according to goblin ethics, of course, so why not?

Multiple dwarves can work in the same building at the same time. I think one paused their job to harvest plants while the other grabbed the next job.

Smoke inhalation is a thing.

Must. Weaponize. Just think: A whole new type of trap is within our grasp.

How about if you can burn some hemp, and have dorfs inhale that? Or maybe it would only work on humans?

You might end up with dorfs that get happy thoughts looking at random objects, suddenly get hungry, sleep a lot, and develop strange moods.

I've seen two miles in a row that were asexual (the two mules I've seen at all since I figured out the gaydar) and both were asexual.  Since asexuality is so rare, I have hypothesized that all mules are asexual.  Not that it really matters, since they're all male anyway...

Mules in real life are sterile. They can have sex, but cannot breed. I guess asexual is sorta close.

Dwarves can apparently cancel sleep due to being miserable.

My brain cancels sleep due to thirst, do dwarves cancel sleep due to thirst?

I think not. I have seen dwarves to force feed a sleeping dwarf. They'll just burst in, stuff water of food down the sleeper's gullet and leave, while the sleeping dwarf never even wakes up.

Dwarves must be heavy sleepers. Imagine if you had food or water shoved down your throat while asleep, you’d probably wake up in the process

Yes, there aren't really many things to wake them up once they decide it's time for their monthly(ish) few days of sleep:

Axe Lord Dastot Lanternpassed and Swordmaster Sazir Boundrelic, two of my most elite warriors, were sparring in the barracks, striking, dodging parrying... the usual. At one point Dastot decided to have a nap and went to sleep in a nearby bed. Sazir obviously wasn't done with sparring and followed Dastot to the bed and started bashing sleeping Axe Lord's helmet with his adamantine short sword. He has been at it for a whole day now; at what point I can expect hearing loss or brain damage?

EDIT: I didn't notice it earlier but Monom Bowflags the militia commander is also participating in the steel helmet stress testing, banging at it with his artifact electrum war hammer. They've been at it for two days in a row now. I'm starting to feel sorry for poor Dastot.

EDIT 2: When Dastot finally woke up after sleeping for two full days she had a thought: "I had a sparring session. How exhilarating!"

I found a "hard-to-go-to-school-and-make-eye-contact-with-others" kind of name.
