I have been saving my beard for the upcoming release...
« on: February 03, 2010, 06:24:49 pm »

...and I just accidentally stung myself on it. Yes, truth! I _stung_ myself on my beard.

Here I was in front of the computer, random surfing while thoughtfully scratching my beard. Suddenly I felt pain! Somehow one of the beard strains was lodged into my finger! I was speechless! The strain at the same time loosened from my beard. Stunned by aw, I grabbed my camera and photographed it. Then I pulled it out and... a drop of blood started to form. I instantly photographed that too. This experience has left me with confusion I am still shocked. I mean... It is beard!! Not a needle or something! The beard must be filling up with blood lust prior to the upcoming release by pure excitement or something. That would make sense.

Here is the images I took of the event:

So your beard attacked you, and drew blood? This belongs either in "General Discussion" or "Bug Reports," and I'm really not sure which...

Maybe it was actually an adamantine strand lodged in amongst your beard...

Was it the beard or was it the one lone rogue hair? Did that hair not stand on it's own against the fleshy tyrant? Does it not deserve it's own name now and or custom title?

I can only think of one response. What. The lack of question mark is intentional.

I applaud the OP. A dwarf must learn to co-exist with his beard above all else, be it through friendship or bloody combat.

Just watch, Toady will decide it's entirely relevant to define the stiffness of an individual dwarf's beard, whether or not it can puncture tissue levels, what armor value it provides the head, whether or not it counts as seasonal clothing, whether beard attributes are heritable and can be improved by a skilled barber......

And then we have the Beard Arc.

Zagabar strikes the beard on the short hairs!
The shot glances away!
The beard counterattacks!
Zagabar is struck on the first finger, left hand!

It is bruised!
You are bleeding!

The most epic beard in the world; should be a new mascot.

But scientifically it makes sense, the stingers of simple organisms (like jelly fish) work just like that. So basically your beard is half dwarf, half jellyfish, and all bloodlust.
