Because as everything comes from Armok, all know what blood is before they are born!

What do the dwarfs see when they look up?

Dwarfs are not capable of looking up, they're beards are attached lower on their body which keeps their head from tilting back.  If you want to know why they get scared of things above them it is because the beard senses what is above the dwarf and alerts him when danger is near (though this apparently does not apply to soon-to-happen cave ins.)

Why will a dwarf not brew beer without an order when he is dying of thirst and the ingredients + barrel are right there next to the still?

Because he's not been told any more beer needs to be brewed. He'll take any time off he can get

This is what childrens should be doing, not playing meatshied w/mommy.  It needs to happen with dwarfs.

Why does this *not* happen with dwarves?

Because meatshields are considered important in dwarf society.

Why don't candy pickaxes mine any faster than copper?

Because Urist McMiner would rather use such a pickaxe to mine goblins.

Why do bone bolts come in packs of five and other bolts come in packs of 25?

Pemmican is pretty incredibly durable. Corn and rice also lust forever without refrigeration.
Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

Because they're basically huge sharp bones.

Why, when my Liberal is fighting the Conservative Police Demons while wearing Ceramic Body Armor, will three direct hits in the torso from an M16 barely bruise him, but getting shot with a 9mm in the arm will nearly kill him?

Yep, thats what we call dimple poisoning son. Happens when a dwarf takes too much of that seet old dimple brew. Illegal stuff, mind you. Now yyou know why.

Why is Dimple Cup Brew so dangerous?

Because It makes dwarves hallucinate about Liberals and Police Demons and "Ceramics" and fancy handheld crossbows that ain't bows.

Why did I use and so much just now despite it being improper English?

Because you were constructing a list and a list uses lots of "and"s when done right.

Why can't dwarves mount mountable war animals?

Cause their stubby legs make it impossible.

What are spatters of "Urist"? blood?

I spent so long typing this that I refuse to be ninja'd.

Because they're too short and their body's aren't quite broad enough, despite being proportionately much wider than humans. They can't mount a horse without doing the splits. It's actually incredibly painful and sometimes results in serious medical problems.

Spatters of "Urist" are usually melted skin, fat, or pools of alcohol that occasionally precipitate out of the blood stream.

So, why don't dwarves just attach wide platforms to animals as is sometimes done with elephants? Then multiple dwarves could ride comfortably on one horse!

They tried it once, and they looked really really stupid.  :o

Why do dwarves complain about not sleeping in a proper room recently, even if they slept in an unassigned room worth 10M urists.  I wouldn't complain about sleeping in a room like that even if I didn't own it.

Dwarves, by their very nature are very fond of valuable things.
Especially if they own it.

Why don't elves teach dwarves tree conjuration?
