OK so inspired by Kinneus' lulzworthy comparison of human museums vs dwarven museums, I'd like to start a thread about dwarf culture in general and how it differs from human culture. With sexy^H^H^H^Hhilarious results!

I'll start us off:

In Human towns, murder is considered a capital offense. In Dwarf Fortress, murder is considered a beatable offense - unless you use your victim's flesh to make something really cool, like a dwarf leather thong that menaces with spikes of dwarf bone. Yeah baby.

In Human towns, men go out to work while women stay at home and look after the kids. In Dwarf Fortress, men and women are usually indistinguishable, unless they have a child in which case the mother will drag it everywhere - to work, down the mine shaft and of course to fight the goblins.

In Human towns, metalsmiths hold red hot metal with a pair of tongs and beat it into shape with a hammer. In Dwarf Fortress, metalsmiths hold red hot metal with their bare hands and beat it into shape with their fists.
