I doubt I'll have time when my next turn rolls around.

Actually, by then, the new version of DF will likely be out.

Should we be thinking of moving on?  Barbarossa signed up exactly a year ago today :D

You do realize that if Hydras regrow heads freely, we'll end up with >10,000 headed Hydras from worldgen, right?

Of course, such a hydra would likely collapse under its own weight due to DF's realistic treatment of bodies.  This reminds me of a certain comic that I can't find the link to.

You mean she grows up into Urist?

That would actually be a pretty epic continuity tie-in. And it'd explain why she's insane/

I recall some talk about that during the telling of the story, but nothing came of it.

I'd say "Firehuman" is a better name than fireman.

Then we could also have "firedwarves" and "fireelves" and "firegoblins" :P

Lava doesn't drain, ergo we must fill the map entirely with lava by milking a magma pipe...

Try to get a better look at the syringes.  Are there labels of any sort?

Well clearly F(Human)=Human, since humans are already human.

Assuming our function is one-to-one, that gives F^-1(Human)=Human.
That's an erroneous assumption. F(wolf) = wolfman F(wolfman) = wolfman.

I agree - in fact, I'd say our function is idempotent.  In this case it doesn't make sense to talk about the inverse of F.

Now if you want the pre-image of {Human}, you will get a set the includes humans and possibly the aforementioned humanoid creatures.  This conversation could go deeper, but I don't see the value. 

I also like that Pseudocode ^^^
