I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

Yer-rist.  Alternate pronunciations include: "Goddammit!",  "Not that side of the wall, you moron!", "<sighs>", "<maniacal laughter>", "Oh dear"

Me too. I break the name down into Ur and Ist.
Ur is german for first or origional
Ist is german for is.
So I imagine that Urist means 'the first/origional is'
I pronounce Urist as Ur-ist

It's how Danes like me (or many frenchmen) do R's. We don't do no alveolar approximants. :P
