The way I read that, it's about the time he denied an apprenticeship to someone. Can you imagine what reading that would be like for the poor sap?

Oh, man - I totally misread that. You're right. That's pretty catty. I hope the rejected apprentice shows up as an independent scholar and gets an eyeful.

My personal favourite was called The Elf: My Only Mistake, about the author's start as a poet

[WordsandChaos]

Mastering Breathing

"Guided meditation worked for cancer, it could work for this."

Animal Courtship After The End

Someone put a guard at the door of the refuse stockpile...

The Examination and the Coming Troubles

Either the author is familiar with Dwarven medical procedure, or they haven't revised.

Start Your Day with Valves

I mean, steam tends to open automatically, so..

The Farm Uncovered
Choose The Farm
An Offering To The Farm

Sounds like a trilogy of Stephen King novels...

The third essay I had in my fort was "Misconceptions about the dwarf", about the author's migrating to Bustrack.

I'm considering suggesting it as the new name for the Bay 12 Forums.

Location names can also be pretty great.  Would you like to grab a drink at the Outrageous Butter?  Or join the bards at The Lemon of Ferrying?  Perhaps you'll indulge in some books at the Inky Mansions or ponder with the scholars of the Blockaded House.

I found all these in Legends mode for one world:
Give Me Animal Diseases
Give Me The Diseases of Animals
both written by elves, unsurprisingly.

STDs

I had a novel titled "And She Said: Vomits!"

Only in Dwarf Fortress!

Is DF capable of creating new words, or combining words for punny effect? If so, I am very impressed!

Animal Courtship After The End

Someone put a guard at the door of the refuse stockpile...

Almost did a spit-take at this one

[TheBiggerFish]

PTW.

My fort's current Tavern is called "The Single Date"...
Welcome, one and all, to The Single Date! A place of drinking, merry making, and one night stands!!!

My sincerest wish is for one of my marksdwarves to write an essay on the breeding of ants.

[Henry47]

Here's a statue i had made.
"This is a exceptional sandstone statue of elves.
The item is a a rendition of the Dark Oil, an image of five elves and a bed. The five elves are screaming. The five elves are striking a triumphant pose. The bed is burning."

[L0rd L33t]

"Question animal diets"

I can assume it's referring to elephants.

The "Thun"

"The Thun is a small hand-held percussion instrument. It consists of a bowl. The musician shakes the bowl. The instrument has a single high pitch. The instrument has a noisy floating timber."


Soooooo.... my dwarves are basically waving empty bowls around, and they are so drunk they think it makes noise.
