They're not short, they're thin. DF measures a creature's size in volume, so they can either full up or out. Dwarves chose the latter, elves the former.

Why is the forgotten beast coming up from the caverns stopped dead in its tracks by a hatch above it, but if the hatch were on the same level it would be able to destroy it with no trouble at all?

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Baffler likes silver, walnut trees, the color green, tanzanite, and dogs for their loyalty. When possible he prefers to consume beef, iced tea, and cornbread. He absolutely detests ticks.

Because nothing can look up to determine that it can destroy a hatch cover.

It has been determined that Trump is an average unladen swallow travelling northbound at his maximum sustainable speed of -3 Obama-cubits per second in the middle of a class 3 hurricane.

Probably in 2016, Toady seems to do one release every two years.

Dig deeper.

How long would it take cats with parchment to write the complete works of Urist McNecromancer, starting at a founding population of 2, and doubling every week? Account for time dilation. (10 points Urists)

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

This is Infinite Monkeys with finite monkeys and nigh-infinite text.
I don't think the answer exists.
Why would you even think of that?

however long it takes the nearest furry or drunk dwarf to come along and make cat wo/man babies with them, from there it should take 16 years, this allows them to learn how to read and write, then actually start copying the works

Why would ANY dwarf go to an Evil Biome  if it has the ability to raise Zombies and make Dwarves bleed to death via CLOUDS?

For Armok.
Why do more dorfs not settle in blood rain biomes?

Because Armok demands that the blood flows, and the blood will flow in those lands without any dwarven interference; better they settle somewhere that the blood is not flowing already and get it flowing!

Chicken. It is a giant thing with a beak, after all.

Why does a whole goblin civilization lose access to a specific mount if the hero who tamed them dies?

As if most goblins survive long enough to learn animal training...

What happened to that invasion thing? I only get them in succession forts...

You need to get some necrocialis for your neighboring towers.

Why did I settle near so many towers on a glacier that rains rohypnol?

It's a penal colony. Dwarves are sent there to die. End of story.

Why am I not known as the King of Hell? Can I get a serious answer?

Trick question. They're not going to do it anyway. Not even with industrious dwarf blood in their veins.

Probably not, though others are welcome to try.
