It turns out that the sky CAN fall- but it's rigid, so it got stuck on Mt. Everwork, the highest mountain. The sky then swung about so that some areas had less than others.

Why do dwarves believe any old hack who calls himself a high noble? How else do they keep getting replacement nobles?

But you never see a movie where a terrible coal plant accident causes a horrible devastation, do you? Nope, everyone seems to think that nuclear plants get their energy by smacking live atomic warheads all day or something.

Because they don't care bro, they just don't care. As for replacement nobles, they just get drafted from pheasant ranks.

Why do dwarves have beards?

How hard can it be to find that burning hellhole visible from the faint glow over the horizon, trail of the dead and tower of smoke? Oh, and the stench.

Who decided fly brains are a viable food?

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

Because Armok designed it that way, so you would make a Adamantine hammer thinking it will kill stuff, and not be a wiffle bat. How else will he get dwarf blood if you're always winning?

Why and how do Cats breed so much that the fabric of time is ripped?

In the upper body resides the heart, and therefore the soul. As a creature's soul leaves its body, so does that section.

How did the dwarves not notice the 3rd dimension for quite a while, and how did they discover it in the end?

Dwarven Scripture prohibited them from looking up, lest Armok's face burn them to a Cinder.
And then the scripture was updated.
As to how they found out they can move along it, someone tripped. And fell in a ditch.

How can Mushrooms be as strong as wood?

Quote from: a Swedish electronics teacher
In Sweden, digital electronics is considered unteachable. That is why you are not being taught about it.
Most attempts of sesquipedalian loquaciousness on the internet will most likely end up in egregious delusions of eloquence. Finagle's law commands it!
