P.S. Can someone give me a link that will tell me about BoatMurdered?
The first link is wrong:

Of course, since he doesn't actually walk around counting things, we can only assume that bookkeeping time is spent in deep meditation, psychically sensing exactly how many piles of orthoclase there are. It takes a while to hone a skill like that.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Of course, if that is what you see, you'll never be able to report back that you saw it, as by that point Scamps will have moved into flanking position and taken aim at your vital regions.

They are cubes, so "tiles" is an acceptable unit of measure for length, width, and height. 

So is "Two Beard Decades", the distance a beard will grow in a decade, which is the length of a single side of a tile.  As in, the average dwarven room in my fortress is four beard decades by four beard decades by two beard decades in size.

Since a beard decade is about 5', two beard years is 1', and a beard month is half an inch.  The beard day is currently the finest unit of dwarven measurement.

897: You know the exact rate at which a beard grows and you use it to measure time.

Distance!
898: You have gotten into an argument over whether beards should be used to measure time or distance, despite being able to use it as both, because there can only be one beard based unit of measuerment!
899: There can only be one beard based unit of measument, however at the same time this unit of measurment is- like all other units of measurement- called a Urist.
