Natural selection has long ago weeded out any dwarves who cannot stand near magma without cooking.

Why is it impossible to request any adamantine from a caravan, even if you have previously had a fort in the same world that exported tons of the stuff?

As no other fort produces the stuff, all adamantine is greedily hoarded, leading to ridculous prices. They assume you don't have enough stuff to make it worth their while.

Why do docters not do anythigng for huge periods of time, then decide to heal everyone in the hospital at once?

we will see flying pigs when dwarfes siege fellow dwarfes.
...Resisting... urge... to... mod raws...
Since when was it fun to not make things happen? Give in to your urges, hack Toady's computer and make sure that pigs fly in the next release!

What actually happens when a dwarf realizes anything?

Why hack, when you just need to wait for a winged pig-FB appear?

Dwarves haven't figured out which bit's the seed and they aren't taking any chances after what happened to Cerol when he tried to grow plump helmets aboveground. There was blood EVERYWHERE!

Why do goblins like naming their settlements things like "Evilanus"?

They're hoping to keep away enemies through the mighty powers of horrible implications. Maybe the humans would be too squeamish to get anywhere near.

Why and how would a boat be murdered?

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.

A boatmancer used their powers to bring a boat to life, then elves got ticked and tore it apart to avenge the trees used to make it.

Why do demons not make slade weapons?

Remember the whole, "they have no picks which is why they don't mine through the candy" thing? That's why.

Well, since the last post had no question this one will have no answer.

A vampire gets voted into power, and everyone becomes unhappy when the vampire gets hammered to death for draining half the fort's blood.

What happens to pets which drink vampire blood-infected water?

They displeased the giant sponges.

Why can't dwarfs make super-dense heavy-duty ultra-secure three-meter-thick solid-steel doors that resist building destroyers, yet that brittle-looking artifact green glass portal will stand up to an army of dragons?

Artifacts have been imbued with the power of dwarves who are about to go insane. Their near-insanity makes artifacts quite immune to many things.

Why is green glass the most basic glass type?

Realism. (I think)

On the topic of glassmaking, is it pear lash or pearl ash?
