grabbing a barrel and drinking its content directly is just more fun.... A dwarf would never be pleased with the small amount of booze a mug can hold.

How is it possible that this farmer got 50 Kills but yet has no weapon- or fightingskills? 

[Mudcrab]

He's been abusing his livestock..

Why are marksdwarfs so damn stupid?

[Komra]

It's a well-known fact that dwaves are, by nature, axe or hammer users, though they can become proficient with most any weapon. When a ranged weapon weapon was first presented to them, one dwarf decided to beat the crap out of the test target with it. The crossbow's firing mechanism accidentally triggered just after the first hit, ripping apart the target and forever convincing the dwarves that it was an amazingly effective melee weapon with the added bonus of maybe hitting from longer away. Most dwarves don't even consider the latter, since it's not dwarfy enough to attack without possibility of death.

What's up with the lack of considerable convection?

What's up with the lack of considerable convection?

Dwarven physics has yet to perceive the concept of convection, and as they can't observe it it doesn't happen.

How can infinite amounts of stone blocks fit into a single bin?

[MaximumZero]

Stack them on top of each other. Dwarven Jenga.

How do the dorfs make thousands of green glass serrated discs without ever depleting that one tile of sand?

[misko27]

Because the dwarves only use a few grains of sand for each piece of glass. It will run out, You just need to make them take everything.

How can bolts manage to puncture candy armor?

[Loud Whispers]

How can bolts manage to puncture candy armor?

As said so by the holy embark screen, only three things can pierce adamantine armour with ease.

The bolt, the plow, and the hook.

Lycans.

How do they work?!

[GreatWyrmGold]

Well, "lycan" means wolf, so they work by hunting deer and sheep.

Why do people call werewolves "lycans," and were-something-other-than-wolves "lycanthropes" (which means something like "wolf-men")?

[Urist McGyver]

Because the hipster Werewolves were Lycans before it was mainstream.

Why are Dorfs all scottish?

[Mudcrab]

Because all scots are dwarfs

Why can't goblins open doors?

[Urist McGyver]

Because they try pushing and pulling the door, never knowing how a door knob works.

How come superlight adamantine doesn't float?

[Ehndras]

Because its not actually light in density, it just warps space around it.

[Tiruin]

Because its not actually light in density, it just warps space around it.

Because. ((Answer > Question.))



Why does physics work?

[Bobnova]

If it didn't, it'd be too hard to post here to ask the question.

Why can almost nobody, dorf, human or otherwise, swim? There are rivers and lakes (&@#%* everywhere!

[Urist McGyver]

'Cos water in dwarf fortress is actually some sort of sticky blue goo of bouncing drowning.

If an elf falls in the dwarf-made bottomless pit and there's no one to hear it, does it still make a sound?
