*Impatient*We went over this. The Cats have mind-control, and when the connection is severed, the dwarf goes through great trauma, often driving them mad.

Why has no one else in the dwarf world dug candy before your fort?

Because they know better than to go to get the cotton candy and go to the circus.

Why do gremlins pull leavers if they never knew of them before the dwarfs?

Because they like pulling on sticks (lol)

Why does every wound a Dwarf gets get infected

Gremlins revere levers as gods. To pull a lever is the ultimate holy duty for a gremlin. To die immediately after pulling said lever is enough to make you a Gremlin Saint. (edit: dammit)

Because DF is realistic. You try living in a dirty hole surrounded by unwashed beards and not getting some horrible infection. (Also probably because you've never made soap?)

Why do dwarfs not cook and eat rats? They're the only food source that will never run out, and all you need is ketchup!

They do, just when they are starving, as eating rats is discusting and would cause the plague

Why dont two Dwarf civs ever go to war, and why dont you ever get invasions from other Dwarvern civs?

No, why? May I interest you in a rat on a stick Urist McStronginthearm? 3 bucks only and at that price I'm cutting me own throat.

Bloody impressive feat.

Other monsters crowded around me, continually attacking.  I treated them politely, offering the edge of my razor-sharp sword; but the feast, I think, did not please them.

Can't think of a funny answer, so a serious one. Dwarf civs have the same ethics, so they don't get into conflicts. No wars = no invasions. Also dwarf invaders would have to come in autumn which is reserved for your civs caravan.

How can my mayor like adamantine if he he does not know it exists yet?

The same reason nobles are lazy - whenever they sleep, the HFS visits their dreams. Urging, threatening, willing anyone in a position of power to order the mining of a blue stone and release the HFS from its time-worn prison. The higher-class nobles are terrified that if they were ever to do a single task, they would enter a fell trance and free the HFS without even knowing it, so they keep themselves weak and useless so as not to be converted into a mere tool used to doom the fortress. Your mayor, however, can act, and the dreams have grown too strong. His conscious thought is trying everything to divert his actions from their terrible course by coming up with distractions, like mandating cabinets. But the HFS deep within his subconscious urges him onwards, even turning an order for the manufacture of furniture into a sinister bid for freedom. Adamantine! How many mayors and kings have fallen before its bewitching blue allure?!

Do you think plump helmets are really shaped like spades? If so, are they flattish, or are they perfectly rounded as if created on a lathe?

They always struck me as looking like classical Mushrooms, but with sharp tops.

Plump helmets don't have pointy tops, those are in fact small spouts through which their juicy goodness may be squeezed or sucked out by hungry dorfs.

Damnit, I wish threads were more equivilent to bullets trains than industrial trains. Much harder rerail. Only problem is that it is nigh-impossible to get a thread back on it's rails after derailing.

Remember to post a question after your answer, damnit!

Anyways, what is it in a dwarf's mind that is different from a human's that manages to completely ignore angst, stupidity to the point of requiring constant babysitting, even heavily altering blueprints and risking their lives just so they can always do things the exact same way...

And yet are pretty much the most technologically advanced race ever? This is taking into account the lavish megaprojects, the overly-complicated traps that all-too-often involved magma, skill in proffesions to the point of instinct, and the only race to ever reap the profits of candy and survive the following tax collectors for said candy.
