I think the re-offending rates of jailed criminals would be much less if they just engraved the walls and floors of their cells, and maybe some well-crafted chains
Like others I have been looking into geology a lot more
And have also been sniggering a bit at friends playing minecraft with its simplicity and subtly dropping hints that they should check out dwarf fortress
Have virtually stopped playing world of warcraft since I have to finish digging my way to chaos temple/flooding lava sea/building four 20 z-floor high towers to use up rock

...someone in WoW trade chat made a reference to fishing in volcanoes.  I had to say 'fishing in volcanoes?  What do you think this is, Dwarf fortress?'

...I have a dwarf paladin in WoW named Uristmcdwarf

...when drawing plans with non-specific measurements, I've taken to calling them 'Urists'.

...I stand off to the side when opening my garage door.

...I actually left a note on the counter at work: Deus has cancelled Check In Shipment: too hungry.

When I see a Ballista I question why the bolts don't take up three meters in length.
I wonder why people don't just build Dwarven Generators for power.
I chain my dog in front of the house to ward off Kobolds.
