Why don't dwarves carry Magma Buckets/Barrels into battle? Imagine the warfare... :D

Nidilap likes Adamantine, Bituminous Coal, Garnets, Cats for their aloofness, Dwarves for their stupidity, and Swords for their Spikes and edges. When possible, he prefers to eat pizza, ramen noodles, and sushi. He absolutely detests elves and spiders. He needs MTN DEW to get through the working day.

A medium- sized creature prone to great ambition, but only when he feels like it.

Because they have long beards; the beard would catch fire before reaching the enemy.

It is a well-known fact that horse hooves are made of a strange form of unmineable adamantine. They kick right through armor.

Yes, If you fill it with platinum and get a platinum forgotten beast to walk on it.

Is it a problem that I feel very close to simulated dwarves who are rendered in Ascii graphics?

Why do ghosts only ever kill the useful dwarves?

What's wrong with using magma? That's almost always the easiest method.
I have issues channeling it properly to do that method. I end up flooding the fortress with magma.

Because they want you to hurry up and slab them, and they know that if they kill useless haulers you won't get the message.

Why don't keas ever get the message to stay the hell out of here?

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Keas actually picture themselves as Robin Hoods and feel that they must transfer your wealth to their poor birdy brethren. They're just too retarded to remember that their ostrich pal can't wear that woollen sock that is their grand bounty.

Because it isn't actually flowing. When you create a diagonal, you are forming a liquid summoning circle, which requires the sacrifice of one liquid to create another.

Why, given the option, do dwarfs always stand on the overhanging floor they are about to demolish?

Either
a) They're too drunk to realize their mistake.
2) They're drunk enough to think it'll be fun.

I don't know about the rest of them, but I'm just that awesome.

It stuffs everything up it's ass.

If Goblinite is a thing, what about Humanite, Elvenite, or Koboldite?

Unlike humans, elves and kobolds, goblins are made of rocks. This is why they attack dwarves that mine into mountains.

Why can't a goblin or human who still has their battleaxe/dagger/spear/sword escape from a palm cage?

Because they aren't in the cage. They're in a bubble universe, and the cage is merely a portal. You can't cut out of a universe with a standard edged weapon.

Why do vermin have powers of invisibility?

Natural selection. The DF universe has so many cats that all the non-invisible vermin were wiped out.

How can dwarves mine through the strongest material in the world with a shoddy copper pick?

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.
