Engraved on the floor is a masterfully designed image of onul Twinklesalves the dwarf by onul Shetbethsibrek. onul Twinklesalves is engraving. The artwork relates to the masterful engraving "The Courteous Goose" created by the dwarf onul Twinklesalves for The Boat of Matches at Dustslings in the early spring of 168.

He's making masterful engravings of himself making masterful engravings, and then making masterful engravings of those.

Magnificent, my masterful megalomaniac.

An abnormal amount of aliteration alienates all avid attendees.

[Balathustrius]

In order to understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.

[Glacies]

Experience alliteration.

I thought this was going to be about running a fortress inside of a mechanism computer. Which would be cool, if insane to try and pull off.

Someday you will be able to run DF in DF.

[Duke 2.0]

Someday you will be able to run DF in DF.

Someday, DF will create a virtual Toady, who will work on DF inside DF.

[Mikademus]

Someday you will be able to run DF in DF.

There, I corrected that for you.

I had that happen with an artifact chain mail once. On the chain mail was an image of the chain mail, which was wonderful.

EDIT: Looked up the chain mail:
Sakzulbakust Bisol, "The Trumpet-Urges of Peace", a Iron chain mail.
This is a Iron chain mail. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encircled with bands of Sard. This object menaces with spikes of Iron. On the item is an image of two dwarves in Iron.
On the item is an image of The Trumpet-Urges of Prace the Iron chain mail in Iron.

Now imagine what will happen when decorations are improved.

"On the chainmail is an image of the chainmail Catbear the Lion of Swiftness. On the image of Catbear there is an image of the chainmail Catbear the Lion of Swiftness. On the image of catbear there is an image of the chainmail Catbear the Lion of Swiftness. Ad infinitum."

Now imagine what will happen when decorations are improved.

"On the chainmail is an image of the chainmail Catbear the Lion of Swiftness. On the image of Catbear there is an image of the chainmail Catbear the Lion of Swiftness. On the image of catbear there is an image of the chainmail Catbear the Lion of Swiftness. Ad infinitum."

It repeats so much that the block of text takes up every single bit of your computer to open up an infintesimal amount of the never-ending mountain, until your processor catches fire and all the dwarves run to grab it and join the conflagration before deciding to take a nap or else grab a nice, cold barrel of ale.

Life is, in a word, recursion.

Meme time:

"yo dawg i heard you like fortresses so we put a fort in your fort so you can play while you play."

[McDoomhammer]

Life is, in a word, recursion.

Can you expand on that?

[Appelgren]

Now imagine what will happen when decorations are improved.

"On the chainmail is an image of the chainmail Catbear the Lion of Swiftness. On the image of Catbear there is an image of the chainmail Catbear the Lion of Swiftness. On the image of catbear there is an image of the chainmail Catbear the Lion of Swiftness. Ad infinitum."

Or just finally ending with "please forward this to ten other persons or you will die in three weeks".
