Why do dwarves birth children on stairways

Dwarven birth doesn't require labor - the infant just sort of slips out.

Why do sapient egg-layers abandon their eggs to eat and drink, but nonsapient egg-layer grazers will starve themselves to death on their nest boxes?

Because the sapient ones are smart enough to realize their eggs won't wander off on them if they leave.

How on earth do you make fibers out of pig tail, which is supposed to be a MUSHROOM?

I don't think pig tails are more of a mushroom than cave wheat is.

How are those huge herbivora able to charge dorfs moving faster than a bolt flies? Seriously now, the first time I saw this I expected my poor bugger to turn into a red smear ending somewhere off the map.

As explained in other posts, a DF tile is in fact a little pocket dimension arranged in a grid pattern along with all the others. Thus, the herbivore is in fact warping from tile to tile at a faster rate than the dwarf whose warping is faster than the bolt, and thus gains no momentum and hence is not applicable to the laws of physics.

Why do I spend more brainpower answering these questions than answering the questions in my physics assignment?

Because Dwarven physics are more complicated than regular physics.

Also, if you ever figure out why poets/bards/dancers just randomly start butchering people/getting butchered, please don't fix it, I love never knowing when a dance party will turn into a slaughter.

Because the army is for nerds, and do siege operators look like needs to you?

Why hasn't phoebus made a gelder sprite yet?

They can't decide whether to use the butcher sprite, the surgeon sprite, or the dissector sprite

How many animals do you need to geld to get a legendary gelder?

What does everything for a Dorf?

Da Beard!

Why doesn't the rest of the Dorf do anything?

It's the same as why you don't ask why the rest of the cordyceps infested ant does not do anything, the parasite is more interesting.

I say it just keeps rolling with constant momentum, killing hundreds and causing untold amounts of damage before ultimately falling off the world because it's flat and such.

What happens to all those XragsX and *limestone mugs* that you heap up on the passing caravans?

The caravan continues its trade route, distributing mugs and old clothes to outlying settlements like a charity drive.

How has the economy not destabilised due to an oversupply of mugs?
