I like the randomly generated things that people say in adventure mode.
For example:
"Life, in a word, is Incest."
"when waking up in the morning, consider rape."

I've had (memory serving) "Life, in a word, is Death".

This is Dwarf Fortress, a masterly crafted game. It is adorned with bands of epic, and is studded with spikes of awesome. On the game is an image of a toad and many dwarves. The dwarves are worshipping the toad. The toad is laughing. The dwarves are dying.

While yours is poetic, his is more hilarious.

I had my head macedwarf - the chief savior of the fortress on innumerable occasions - bitten by a Cave Spider. Despite being handicapped by sporadic slowdowns from the venom, he powered through. Made it feel like he was extra heroic.

Is life a sphere?

"Life, in a word, is Life."

Thank-you, Reverend Priest of obvious speech.

I've heard "When you wake in the morning, consider suicide."

(fortress mode)
Bats are checking out my mostly-built (still removing scaffolding) water pump tower. Also, fireflies go up and down z-levels instead of vanishing/reappearing like I thought earlier.

Actually they do both. Vermin appear and disappear, and flying vermin can also go up and down z-levels.

Once, a goblin priest told me:

When waking up in the morning, consider murder.

I took his advice, and hammered him off the tower roof.

When doing engravings some dwarves prefer to write their life stories.

So yeah, I've been playing for a while and just recently noticed that jobs set on Repeat get added back to the bottom of the queue when completed. I always assumed they just stayed at the top forever and the other jobs would never be done unless the Repeated task was canceled or un-Repeated. I used this knowledge immediately to automate my glass industry:

Playing as characters such as werewolves and trolls you can eat bones.

Unfortunately not skulls or corpses.

Doesn't quite work to start up if there's a stockpile, you have to double up sand-order to grab time for the bag to hit pile so the glasswork doesn't cancel because the sand's busy being hauled.

Of course, having mundane glassforges just haul sand, and having your magma glaziers do the real work is superior, since the workshop is no longer tied up.
