All of it.

Why can Dwarf's drink unhealthy amounts of booze and not suffer any side effects?

[Max™]

Because "unhealthy amounts of booze" for a dorf is "0 booze", as they are just alchohol powered vehicles for their beard.

Why don't engravers get upset that their masterful carvings lining the outside meeting area (to reduce cave adaptation) are under what has to be a foot of vomit?

[Arcvasti]

Engravings are very nice and can be beautiful. But there is one major problem with them: They are monochromatic. A TRUE artist would not look upon his bloody or vomit coloured engraving and think "Woe is me! My masterpiece is ruined.". A TRUE artist would reflect on how beautifully the new green/red coating harmonized with the angles and curves of the engraving. Now, TREES growing out of an engraving is ALL WRONG. It just doesn't work. What do you think we are, ELVES? We make immortal masterpieces out of the LIVING STONE, not fiddle around with STICKS and LEAVES.

[Max™]

Answering Arcvasti again: mu.

Question: why doesn't Arcvasti ask questions?

[Aslandus]

Arcvasti believes he knows all, little does he suspect that true wisdom is being able to figure out what you don't know

What is this Mu you keep using?

Why doesn't animated hair seem capable of harming dorfs or being harmed by them?

[Eric Blank]

Because it is hair. It isnt fine enough to force its way into their windpipe, and if it does it usually can't clump up to suffocate them, massive enough to damage them any other way, or solid enough to be damaged by them.

Why the hell do necromancers even bother reanimating hair?

[Max™]

As far as I've seen they don't, but the portion of my map which is terrifying will do the trick nicely.

Why the hell did I forget that I have a dump for interesting corpses with cage traps to catch the reanimated stuff right above the area I tried to put a farmer's workshop and designate shearing/spinning jobs?

[pisskop]

Aethetics.  That is all.          Why dont more creaures try sneaking?

[Vyro]

Have you ever seen a sneaking elephant? Those stealthy bastards I swear... "The -iron minecart- has been misplaced! No doubt the ghosts are to blame!" Yeah keep thinking that...

Why are dorf ghosts all either spineless wimps that don't even bother to notify the residents of their existence, or murderous nutjobs hellbent on ripping everyone's limbs off?

[Aslandus]

The ones who aren't either too cowardly to enter the afterlife or too angry to let go of their past life don't come back as ghosts

How many yak hair zombies are needed to train discipline fastest?

[Enchiridion]

How many yak hair zombies are needed to train discipline fastest?

The yak hair zombies must be proportional to the amount of Dwarf beard hair non-zombies you are willing to train.

Why do necromancers even bother visiting if they are just gona sightsee?

[Quartz_Mace]

They want to get out of the tower and away from the corpses from time to time.

Why do Dwarves have hands when they can clearly do things with their beards?

[Max™]

Because dwarves hven't invented pockets, so they need hands to store stuff.

How can female dorfs do things like engrave stones and separate chemicals by molecular weight even if you haven't re-added their beards?

Haven't you ever heard of virtual particles and black holes? Dwarven female beards act much the same way. 

why are the new trees so overpowerdly awesome?
