This animation reminds me of short sf piece about fractal image that went directly through all safety layers (you know, to not have brain equivalent of application crash on things like "this sentence is false") in human brain and cause irrecoverable brain format or something like that.

(I don't think we have any such "safety layers" but ah well, nice read)

A footkerchief is a kerchief for your foot/feet, in contrast to a hankerchief being a kerchief that is for your hand/hands. Kerchiefs are normally for your head.

OH GOD!
I see what you did there.

Anyway.
Footkerchief is Footkerchief.

Life is, in a sense, Footkerchief.
When you wake up in the morning, consider Footkerchief.

Some say he is an avid collector of Trollz (tm) dolls. Others say he can be mailed to London for the low, low price of 45c.

All we know is he is called, the Footkerchief.

You should too.

But what if 1,000,000 people join then leave, one by one? Then 1,000,000 people will have joined but it will have 0 people in it.

Footkerchief could be considered the custodian of Dwarf fortress knowledge, An avatar of knowledge of the game who's fine detail is nicely countered by its pixels. He is also so fast that Toady had to delay his posting by five minutes. If he answers something three minutes after you posted the problem, he already answered it before you even logged on.

The Elves were beautiful, Mistral Thrax admitted, in and elvish way, but it was his belief that the gods grew disappointed after a time because the elves -- being elves -- were essentially decorative but not particularly functional. They were content simply to live long lives and to exist. They did not nothing of any real value, in the opinion of Mistral Thrax."

On a somewhat related note (SC2/UQM connection, the toadlike appearance, and the mental control abilities):

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.
