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!

It is one of their many talents that has been passed down the dwarven family lines since Armok himself blessed them with it.
Dwarves aren't stupid, ya know.

What kind of weapon do dwarves prefer?

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

Alcohol is the driver of complete catabolic breakdown of ingested food. Without alcohol, dwarves slowly become more and more lethargic due to inefficent metabolism of food.

You see, here's how I think this works:
Overseer: Welcome to the military! You need to wear socks! Dorf: Oh, I should get military socks. My socks are civilian socks. Dorf discards socks Dorf: You know, I need a whole lot of gear now. I should get socks... last. Oh, but these steel boots with the white goo on them are nice!

As soon as the pick slides in, it cools the wall and the pick is instantly trapped.
