Making pond turtle explode when threatened sounded like the perfect way to make hand grenades, unfortunately it has some nasty side effects on the turtle population...

So what happened to the mussels?

You grind up the shells and suspend them in a substance not unlike silly putty.  Hey, it's close enough.

Why don't the dragons have wings?

Giving a quadruped wings would mean it has six limbs, and only insects have six limbs so if dragons had wings they would technically be insects instead of lizards...

Does this mean cave dragons are technically insects?

No because they still have an internal skeleton that insects don't have

There isn't enough dried blood and congealed misery to hold it together.

How much dried blood and congealed misery do you need to keep a fort together?

I do stuff, I guess

More than two years of cavern slaughter and 12 dead dwarves of greaving


Why hasn't a tantrum spiral started yet? Are my dwarves just that hardened?

You simply haven't found the key dwarf yet. Keep a lookout for any dwarf overfond of cats, elves, or nobility. :p

Why can't vampires fill their waterskins with blood so they don't have to hunt so much?

Because of the strange properties of leather, waterskins, blood, and their necromantic curse, the contact with the blood and magic causes the leather of the waterskin to grow fuzzy white hair and the blood to congeal into pudge. Thus, the fluffy wambler was born.

Why do gods possess the power to turn demons into other gods?

For the continuation of their species of course. They implant little parasitic copies of themselves and the demon acts as a host.

Why hasn't anyone tried running DF on a supercomputer?

Still lobbying for permission, but I'm a lowly freshman who has yet to get a professor hooked or explain why it's a valuable research project.

I don't hazve a question. Pass

He shan't pass the shantie
for the ocean of brandy
is wagered upon this old vessel of rhyme
and passing the shantie
means giving up brandy
a price too high for him to pay at this time

Why can't we make our dwarves sing shanties?

The Big D

Because they may possess the power of perpetual motion, but they have yet to master sailing. So no sea travel to warrant shanties.

Why have dwarves harnessed perpetual motion yet not managed to harness power from Tantrum spirals or !!Thermonuclear Catsplosions!!? Or even pitchblende reactors?
