Armok. The DF version of Odin is also Armok. Let that sink in.

How is it possible for one dwarf to haul any object, no matter how slowly?

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

They just lug it about with their hands.

How do aquifers work?

Well, the microscopic clowns can slip through the atomic lattice of candy (I'M SO COOL AT SPOILERS), and settle in certain soil layers worldwide. But instead of doing anything cool like shooting webs or causing brain necrosis, they just spew out neverending amounts of water. When they absorb water, it's actually because the clowns get thirsty after a few centuries.

Why can dwarfs see in caves?

Why does armour never wear out?
Every night, a dwarf will check his armour for chinks or holes. If one is found, a single beard hair will slither into the hole and take on the properties of the surrounding metal. If you say "Why can't dwarfs weaponize this?!", well, they can. It's called the melt-down-coins-and-get-infinite-metal trick. It's the beards that are duplicating the metal created when large stacks of bolts or coins are melted.

Do you think & was chosen for clowns because of its look? If yes, what evil features can you see on it?

I've always thought it looked like a fish with a halo on it. That, or a kid sitting down and jerking off. Both reflect my views on demons.

How does a dwarf bite a boar's left rear molar in the midst of combat?

With their teeth.

Will dwarves ever weaponize the air around them?

Black hole - lack of air causes suffocation.

Will oceans ever be capable of boiling dwarves alive again?

Yes, as long as they put magma there (which is fairly likely).

We have serrated blade traps. We have finicky bridges. So why don't we have collapsing floor traps?

Have you seen how fast those things fire? The thing they call a quiver is really an ammo drum filled with bolts.

Will dwarves ever improve the Ballista to make it not suck?

You have autocrossbows. Why do you need a ballista?

WHy are hooves seemingly carved from the beard of Armok?

They spend all their time trying to emulate giant sponges.
Why do some (escaped) demons live in caves rather than take over civs?

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.
