I thought excactly the same when I saw that. Or more precisely it made me wonder if the maker of xkcd plays DF.

Given the properties text, and all of the guy's other work, I'm quite certain it's a joke about those pumps they sell in men's magazines, not the dwarven variety.

Bet he does play DF though.

Yeah, I thought the same, my own dwarven pump works popped into my head from an old fort :D but then I realized he's probably referring to something else.

The mouse-over text reads "And then a second one, to drain the sea." So I wouldn't rule it out just yet.

Toady, how much of DF is inspired by Labyrinth? Is Armok actually David Bowie? Because that would simultaneously be disturbing and awesome.

I don't know, XKCD has run with such ideas as turning anti-clockwise to reduce the Earth's angular velocity, thereby holding off the coming morning (one of the more emotional strips for me).  I wouldn't put it past them to touch on a giant pump to drain the seas without it having anything to do with DF.

Widdershins.

It took me years to admit that that was a word the first time I saw it.

That would be interesting to explain to someone. You'd have to write it running widdershins up to the elbow just to see who'd catch it.

Wouldn't that depend which way you were facing?  *Trying and failin to wrap my head around it, here*

Anyway, you could always get it tattooed on your shins.

Thanks for correcting me, Capn.
