542. You refuse to associate with anything that hasn't been implemented. Your house has no bathroom.
543. You've dug a massive tunnel system under the surface for a 1/2 mile radius around your house. The whole thing is held up by a single support connected to a lever, in case of "emergencies".
544. You own a tape measure that measures in z-levels.

That brings up a good point: how high is a z-level? I'd guess about 7 or 8 feet (2.1-2.4 meters).
a fully grown tree or a bronze colossus are both taller than that, but they are contained in one z-level

A z-level is as tall as the tallest object inside it.
Thus resulting in the ramps stretching when something tall is climbing them.

556. you wonder how elevators work, as the only way for them to move down would be a cave-in, causing the ones in the elevator to die.

Trees actually do appear on the z-level above when outside...

559. you can discuss trees at great length without mentioning anything related to actual plant biology

they appear yes, but they do not actually extend above the one z level

560.  You start to feel very guilty when it's been more than two weeks since your last free-will donation to the great Toad

562. When your kitchen sink is clotted, and overflows, you grab a pickaxe, break out the floor and dig down, to find an aquifer that will drain the flood.

459. you cram all your pets into one cage
500. you don't beleive in bathrooms

EDIT: 501. you have an elaborate system of water and magma to make 20 foot tall natural obsidian statues in the street.
Double EDIT: 502. you tried melting the statue of liberty for the copper.

Maybe I'm dense, but isn't the numbering off? Jumping from 459 to 500 doesn't seem right to me. Unless I really suck at math.
