I accidentally said Armok instead of Jesus when I was talking to my mother's pastor.

I felt so stupid.

...when someone used the word 'orthoclase' in a dictionary game, I was the only person who already knew what it was.
...I've had the correct answer to several metal/ore/alloy related questions in the pubquiz I semi-regularly do with friends.
...I walk around the city, and wonder how to replicate these buildings in DF. Plus I look for inspiration.
...I'm seriously considering engraving(/painting) the walls of my house (or at least my hallway), wether or not with the history of my life.

Seriously, the concept of engravings is awesome. Wouldn't be the first craft I've considered taking up thanks to DF.

Oblivion is a fun game to replicate that. I go into the editor, make a whole bunch of elves with names out of LANGUAGE_ELF.TXT, and the gory fun begins.

...I watched a TV programme about Chernobyl and thought "well if they didn't have time figure out which levers to pull, why didn't they pause it?"

God...pausing and saving... I've been around since before video games existed, and those two elements are so damned appealing that sometimes they almost seem like they do exist in real life, and I've simply forgotten which buttons to press.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Here, direct copy+paste from the Manual to Life.

"In order to pause and save, you must first make enough money to invest in a cryogenic chamber. Then, simply enter the chamber, tap the "sit down" button gently, and let the freezing mist put your character into frozen stasis. Do not power off/restart the system at this time."

Because of Dwarf Fortress, I knew all the answers in one Jeopardy category today.

The category? ORES.

"What is Bauxite?" indeed.
