Also, I get most of the in jokes on the forums, but the one about cheese evades me. Could anyone explain this one?

On the wall is a masterful engraving of a cow cheese by Urist McStoner.

That's really all there is to say on the matter.

To elaborate, dwarves really like to engrave cheese.

As they rightly should.  Cheese is awesome.

Blessed be the Cheesemakers!!

Also, Urist Imiknorris, your sig almost made me fall off the chair.

For some strange reason my dwarves don't engrave cheese.

Do you make cheese? Or do your dwarves like cheese? Both may affect the appearance rate of it in engravings, methinks.

That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.

How many units of milk can you fit in a barrel? Just the one bucketful? Does milker's skill increase yield or anything for that matter?

Speaking of milk, how much should animals other than cows produce? It seems unnatural for a horse to produce as much as cattle bred for it. Also, can you milk non-domestics like goats?

The amount of milk that would be produced would be relative to the size of the baby animal.  horses are similarly sized to cows so similar amounts of milk will be produced.  (the amount of milk that is gained from modern dairy cows is a bit ridiculous though)

Currently, only cows, horses, maggots, donkeys, and camels can be milked in vanilla dwarf fortress.  Goats should be milkable, and I want elephants to be milkable solely because I want to export crazy valuable cheese.  :D  And I can never find maggots.

Cows have been bred for milk production though. I doubt this is a modern development, considering they've been around since the stone ages. We could really use some estimates for what 14th century animals could be expected to crank out in a year and rebalance the milking times around that. Whether you get more than one unit of milk at once is critical information though.

Also, purring maggots should be larger. Not vermin, the size of a cat. Also solves the issue with civ accessibility.

yes historical cows were bred for milk production but not nearly to the extent of todays cows.  horse and donkey cheese seems more bizarre than goats cheese to me...but whatever.

I modded in goats; it's more or less cheating, as goats as in real-life have litters you can feed a fort with just goats. Intill milk amount varies I'm foregoing them.
