Delhi's Deputy Mayor slain by RHESUS MACAQUES.

I am not making this up. And you thought YOUR fort had it bad with monkeys.

Also, deadly carp.

I like the fact we are seriously discussing how to drop dwarfs off towers using  kittens as cushions.

You should change the title to reflect that it's fucking RHESUS MACAQUES.

Also, truth is stranger than fiction.

One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.


A truly dwarfy solution.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I wonder if Toady got his inspiration for Rhesus Macaques from those guys in Delhi.

I really enjoyed the bit about the garbage can lids also.
That would be one dwarf of a time fending off giant fish.

Also, monkeys are dangerous. One of them tore of a womans face off out of jealousy.
But it might have been gorilla.

If I'm reading the article right, the monkeys weren't what actually killed him. He died from injuries related to the old "dodging off a cliff while in combat" problem.

Messing with hardcoded stuff is playing with fire. And we all know how dwarves react to fire.

Welcome to Dwarf Fortress, where the solution to other people's tragedy is always laughter.

And people wanted Toady to nerf animals...

We know. ;) Linking to this story (though not necessarily the same source) seems to be fast becoming an annual tradition.

I bet 5☼ that by the end of 2015 there will be someone named Cacame who is leader of most of the world, and has lead a crusade against elephants, macaques and the dreaded carp menace. Also someone will have bred giant eagles and they got loose and started mauling entire towns. And yes, by 2015, ☼ will be an internationally acceptable currency.

Edit: Some woman got her jaw broken by the dreaded carp menace about 2 weeks ago
