The only eternal parts of a dwarf are its soul and it's liver, which are both bathed in alchohol and mist in Dwarf heaven.

Why are there nobles if their only use is to either be a burden or die in magma?

Why do dorfs not seem troubled by the humans encroaching upon their territory?

Because the dwarves know that if the humans ever get too close, all they have to do is pull a lever and every human settlement in the local region is destroyed with magma.  Thus pushing them back to a reasonable distance and warning them to stay away.

How can humans sell metal goods/build rock castles without ever having mined.  The technology to extract minerals from the ground without ever using a pickaxe should belong to the dwarves, not silly humans!

Their "rock" castles are actually made of cobbled together mugs and toy boats. The metals are just smelted down from what they get from the dwarves.

It makes pretty formations

Why did my dwarf make a n IMAGE of a pebble in cinnabar on a scepter  -- isn't that a bit redundant -- like making a pebble look like a pebble?

If you launch a wooden mine cart towards the ocean at a sufficient speed, you can have your entire dwarf sail away in an ark.

Because that's what it says on the trading form:
Exports to (City name here): Terror
Imports from (City name here): Vengeance

Why don't dwarves play games?

Now wait a minute, If the goblins aren't holding up their end of the deal, can I Withold my half of the deal? Because I;m not terrified.

They do, Thier favorite is "Idle".

Why do dorfs never use all that useless crap?

Is there any problem that can not be solved by applying enough magma?

Being unable to access the surface because it's covered in aforementioned molten rock.

Answered your own question.  Its useless, and dorfs are more industrial than that. 

If the world is propogated by spores, why is there no cross-propogation?

Because genetics would deny it. And there are spore-icides inside female reproductive systems which systematically destroy any spores not of the same species entering the female.

Could we make giant ligers in DF?

Dwarven crossbreeding mostly involves the actions of clothiers and butchers, so a giant liger would be possible, but unlikely to be useful beyond scarecrow duty.

What happens to *ahem* dwarves' waste products?

But you never see a movie where a terrible coal plant accident causes a horrible devastation, do you? Nope, everyone seems to think that nuclear plants get their energy by smacking live atomic warheads all day or something.
