How do mountain halls have steel but not iron?

Shooting something made of a semi hard metal with no organs is a fucking stupid idea anyway.

They use up all the iron.

Why does no one consider making weapons from two metals at once?

'Deadlysmashes' This is a bismuth bronze mace decorated with menacing copper spikes/hanging rings of gold/iron fuzzypuffs/ etc.

Why are dwarves terrified of water/bathing/any liquid that is more than 3/7 deep... even if they're currently on fire?

Their beard does not want to be wet, so it orders the host organism to stay back.

Why do humans dominate absolutely everything when dwarves are superior and have invulnerable fortresses?

Humans take the useless land, we take the usefull mountains/hills/land.

Why don't dwarfs ever make replacement arms, hell, a simple claw would come in handy?

The beard overgrows the lost limb, preventing prosthetic attachments.

Why don't the &s use the picks leftover from destroying fortresses to release their brethren?

Because dwarfs do not do "sexy". They do spores.
Also because you have to find that on your own, and the world hates you.

Why do we think so highly of dwarfish beards when many of us lack the ability to grow one of our own?

Because all badasses have beards. Except the Asian humans, but then again they normally don't grow beards.

Where do dwarven babies come from? (Expecting beard related answer)

The male releases a spore, which finds it's way to the female. The spore burrows in the female's beard and then impregnates her. Now you know.

Why don't hydras regenerate their heads?

Because of the nerve damage.

Why can't Giant Cave Spiders climb walls, or for that matter, why can't any kind of insect/spider climb walls?

Because there are strands of hair from dwarven beards on EVERY wall and cavern, making the climbing impossible. (Yay for dwarven beard references)

Why do moody dwarves, who are usually controlled by their beards at the time, sometimes make loincloths that menace with epicly deadly spikes?

beards are acting in the interest of natural selection. the spikes destroy the spore release mehanisim of any dwarf stupid enough to wear the loincloth, preventing breeding and causingthe improvement of the species's genetic material.

sadly, by the time the beards had developed this method, dwarfs had lost the ability to put on new clothes rendering it useless.

why does the quantity of material rise in an inverse relationship to its usefullness- case in point-MMMIIIIIIICCCCCCCCROOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCLIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
