Their beards eat stone, so if they slept on a stone bed it could conceivably be eaten right out from under them.

Where did the first dwarves come from?

They were the scraps of creation no one wanted.

Why are goblins so stupid and warlike even though they're mostly immortal?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Your on TV tropes.

Why do dwarfs say they can't make a wall because a creature is in the way when said creature is the dwarf?

(( I wish, Uncyclopedia. It respawns even faster. ))

An addition to the previous question: Why is it that when a creature blocks construction, it continues to do so even years after said creature has left the map?

The dwarf's right hand knoweth not what the left hand is doing.

Why is it that vampires will not perform jobs underwater despite having no need to breath?

I have an idea. Let's play a game where you win by being as quiet as possible.
I get it, it's one of those games where losing is fun!

Because it reminds them of running water.

Why will an adventurer outright refuse to drink pond water but is A-OK with licking dry vulture blood stuck to the back of his teeth?

Borders don't exist in DF so when a monster takes up residence in the world the lord or king is offended that such a monstrosity is camping out in their backyard, even if the creature in question is half a world away.

Why don't borders exist in DF?

Because every civilization consider's the world to belong to them.

Why kings and lord's so boring?

For 38 years,I was a cheese maker.

Why can't we have

For 73 years,I was a warrior.

That's someone I would look up in legend's mode,though it seems to populace likes promoting kings from mundane professions.

Adventurers and Warrior don't live long enough to become Lords and Kings.

What is the actual average life span of a dwarf? (post your own if this doesn't work)

Dwarf fortress wiki says they live to be 150-170,average dwarf lifespan ranges from 5 months to 2 years though.

Why do dwarfs never lose their beards in combat?

Dwarves do lose their beards in combat though, it's just called dying.

Why do we get constant and unending streams of job cancellations announced but almost no combat annoucements concerning our dwarves. I get tons regarding an enraged sponge half an embark area away.

Combat is chaotic and frenzied by nature, and thus lends itself to disorganization.
Industry, however, is an organized and pointed affair, and every job lost is important to a creature fond of drink and industry.
