Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

Because at this point the only difference between them is the name tags.

More like dustbunnies and mothballs... ::)

And in regard to pigtails, who knows? Perhaps pigs exist but can't be around dwarves because two dirt-loving animals aren't compatible? Or maybe they exist, but only in human lands for cultural reasons? Or, what if pigs never existed and "pigtails" is a random coincidence? :-X

Pigs are thought to be extinct in DF, but if the races were to work together and travel to distant lands, they would find more of them.

Disclaimer:  Yes, I made that up.

You're forgetting about adventure mode. Many of us have seen the pigless cities of humans.

Coincidentally, I was thinking that myself after typing it. I decided not to change it because I was lazy. :P

I like LegoLord's idea.
