Because they didn't know that hair could die in the first place, let alone move around by itself.

Well, if we were invaded by terrorists here in _______, you'd run from the attackers too.

How is size relative to a tile? We have these itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot kobolds on one tile, but hither comes the elder dragon, ready to burn and pillage the earth of its wealth, in the exact sized fucking tile. Why?!

Nidilap likes Adamantine, Bituminous Coal, Garnets, Cats for their aloofness, Dwarves for their stupidity, and Swords for their Spikes and edges. When possible, he prefers to eat pizza, ramen noodles, and sushi. He absolutely detests elves and spiders. He needs MTN DEW to get through the working day.

A medium- sized creature prone to great ambition, but only when he feels like it.

Tiles are 2m x 2m x 3m. They're all crammed into a smaller space via quantum stockpiling (i.e. tiles are bigger on the inside.)

If a tree falls in the woods and there's no-one there to hear it, what sound does the dying elven diplomat make right after complaining about it?

The same as one hand clapping does. In the case in question, the hand is covered by a steel gauntlet and is clapping on his face.
How does a FB made of coal manage to fly with his wings, and with perfect maneveurability to boot? How hard does he have to flap them? Or does he have an hidden jetpack and the wings are only for show?

Why dont dwarves just hug it out, instead of slugging it out?

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Some do, when they can find a mayor's shoulder to cry on.

Why don't mayors hand over their office to the next dwarf when their term is up?

How does a miner manage to crack her skull open by dropping ONE z-level after channeling out the wall beneath her?

Lielac likes adamantine, magnetite, marble, the color olive green, battle axes, cats for their aloofness, dragons for their terrible majesty, women for their beauty, and the Oxford comma for its disambiguating properties. When possible, she prefers to consume pear cider and nectarines. She absolutely detests kobolds.

If I discover a massive supply of kaolinite, put porcelain statue production on repeat and then forget about it, how many masterwork statues will each dwarf in my fort get on average when I run out of space in the furniture stockpile?

It depends. Are the statues African or European?
