Also, if your fort falls it's permadeath.

What about reclaiming the fort?

Equivelent to a Bones File.
Whereas if you find the bones of a previous failed run you are in for some Fun.

[Badger Storm]

The necrotizing goop dripping from their pores was kind of a giveaway.

Why don't necromancers ever become liches?

[Aslandus]

Cast magic on themselves? gross

Why is necromancy the only magic available to non-elves?

[Littleman9Mew2]

Cast magic on themselves? gross

Why is necromancy the only magic available to non-elves?

Becuase "witchcraft" hasn't been invented yet.

How can coldness go below absolute zero?

[UnicodingUnicorn]

Because there is no such thing as absolute zero. Temperature in DF has only two degrees, magma and non-magma.

How is it that a dwarf that can haul a 4 metric ton slade boulder needs multiple trips to haul a couple of puny socks?

[origamiscienceguy]

Because socks are by far more important than slade, a dwarf needs to treat each sock with the upmost care in order to show how much respect he has for said sock.

How can a floodgate be made from the bones of two rabbits?

[Eric Blank]

Why is the manager always the first one to go to party?

Why can dwarves build fortresses attached to the sky, but elves have to build on top of trees? Why dont elves attach their houses to the sky too?

[Wimopy]

It's due to the dwarven philosophical approach. The surfacer philosophy states that the world they live in is actually a cave. Thus, naturally, the sky is in fact made of stone and the sun is just a bit of lava that's moving around in that stone.
The more advanced philosophy states that the world is an illusion and the sky is in fact the limit of the illusion. Which is a solid barrier. These dwarves don't go outside because they become sick from this terrible knowledge.
Elves are incapable of conceiving such radical ideas. For them air must continue all the way up, and the sky is just more air. Besides, hugging trees is better than hugging clouds or the sky, that's just silly.
(Note: Physics in the DF universe has not yet seperated from philosophy. This explains many irrationalities.)

Why is dwarven philosophy so much more advanced than any other?

[bahihs]

lol A lot of these sound like one-line jokes (Why can't Hellen Keller Drive?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A: She's dead

)

Because Dwarves are perpetually drunk.

Why is everything that happens inevitable?   

[pisskop]

Because it wouldn't happen if it wasn't, right?

Why don't demons impersonate gods for the humans any more?
