Because dwarves are used to other dwarves following them around, waiting for them to get speared in the danger room so they can steal their socks.

Why did Armok only make blood rain in Evil/Terrifying biomes, instead of everywhere?

[gunpowdertea]

Why did Armok only make blood rain in Evil/Terrifying biomes, instead of everywhere?

c'mon, blood raining from the sky is terrifying or at least very unusual (at least without skewering gobbos and elves to provide fertilizer for the fields).

Why doesn't it rain MAGMA (except in Boatmurdered or Deathgate)? Surely that spot of ground would be BLESSED BY ARMOK!

[pivole]

Because that way noone would ever be able to reach the ground to appreciate the blessing.

Why can I not pump water up a tower, without a ridiculous stack of machinery?

[Berossus]

Because water is lazy and doesnt flow upwards by itself.

Why does my Ranger complain about sleeping in the dirt recently.
Hes a freaking RANGER dammit.
(Also he has a room assigned to him)

[FIREWALKER1]

Heres my WTF.

[P(ony)SI]

Heres my WTF. -snip-

Yo dawg, I heard you liek sweat, so I put some sweaty sweat in your sweat pool so you can sweat sweaty sweat while you sweat sweaty sweat.

Why do !!dwarves!! ignore the fact that they are on fire?

[Mr S]

Because the flames consume the alcohol vapors in thier beards too quickly to be processed by that delicate alcohol vapor based sensory organ into any type of useful information.  The net result is that they can't actually "see" the fire.

Why do dwarven miners not simply have a tie off system for fall protection when channeling floors using ropes to keep them from falling through the floor they, or thier comrades have just finished mining?

[Graknorke]

The overseer doesn't want to spare the rope.

What constitutes dwarvern comedy?

[itisnotlogical]

Knock-knock.
Who's there?
The titan Uslob Gabrostars! It has four wings, no eyes, and knows and chants the names of all it encounters! Beware its deadly dust!
*laughter, applause*

What makes giant animals so huge in the first place?

[pisskop]

Elf Flesh.  When mixed in alchemy it causes uncontrollable growth.  Side affects include humping trees, hunger for dwarf flesh, and an axe in the forehead.

Why is alchemy broken?  Can't you just crush, dissolve, and mix just about anything?

[Mr S]

That's not alchemy.  That's called "Prepare Lavish Meal".

Why do the minecart crossings and stops not include pedestrian cross walks?

[M_So]

And here I though I had seen everything, then this happened.



Their has not been any deaths yet (so can't be a ghost) and my fortress is locked down with no way in, is their a goblin sneaking around or what. D:

[birdy51]

Gremlins and insane Dwarves are marauding about your castle! Drive them off!

[xoseph]

That's not alchemy.  That's called "Prepare Lavish Meal".

Why do the minecart crossings and stops not include pedestrian cross walks?

If the carts stop, things slow down.  If things slow down, it takes longer to go on break.  The carts don't stop.

Why does encountering undead cause unhappiness?

[Imp]

Because death is supposed to be the ultimate break.  To see a corpse up and walking around challenges that belief, and corpses are working very very hard to destroy all life, so that's clearly no break at all.  Breaks the rules!

Why do undead hate all life?  Isn't that to much work?
