So it's kind of a really long story, and I kind of really don't feel like telling it, but I want to make it so if I hit the keys control and 0 (the number, not the letter) on my keyboard at the same time, it acts as if I had hit the page up key. How would I do this? I'm using Windows 7, if that matters.

At first it was just my feet, anyway.

Everything from my knees down won't stop tingling, and it maks it very hard tO concentate on anythinf. I can barely even type.

How do I make it stop? I can't do anything that equires tge slightest bit of concentration anymore.

So, when I talk to people, every time they say something, every single time (Just about), I don't hear them and I ask them to repeat themselves. I know that my hearing is just fine, because I always
do well on hearing tests. I don't know if anyone else realizes how often I do this, but I suspect they do, as it happens so often. What can I do to fix this? (And don't tell me to listen better, because my
(Is anyone else really annoyed by these infinitely wide text boxes? I keep having to hit enter so it doesn't scroll off.*) memory for that kind of thing is just terrible.)

And on a less important, but much more immediate problem, I made this cake. It was a super-delicious chocolate cake. It was a tiny one person cake, too, or at least it was intended to be. As it turned
out, I was unable to finish it. What should I do with it? And this is immediate, as I said, because my cake won't last forever, but I am unlikely to speak to anyone for well over 12 hours.

If you guys want my cake, I'll bring it to you, so long as you live within 10 feet of my house.

*And if you plan on asking, yes, I intended to cut off in the middle of that sentence with no warning at all.

Are you ready for my next mod? It has a ridiculous name, as is my custom. It is called...

The Bridge of Power Mod

Now, these alleged bridges are not the type you have set up to atomsmash things-- but, rather, one to bridge the gap, no, the chasm that exists between steel and adamantine. Sort of like that mithril mod, but that is just easier to make steel. Now, if you know anything about adamantine, you'll know that one, single, material could not possibly bridge that gap. That's why this mod has four materials to bridge the gap. These materials are unusable in their raw form (And worthless, so don't bother selling it). In order to get a usable material, you'll have to combine two of the raw stuff, one useless stone, and fuel at a Bridge Workshop. Or, alternatively, two ores, one useless stone, and no fuel at a magma bridge workshop.

Also, you can combine two Aurontine, two Lithesium, and to Dextronium to make adamantine (Though I don't see why you'd want to). Wondering what they're called, and how they perform? Well, the first one, Aurontine (Kudos to Jeousha for the material generator), occurs in sedimentary and metamorphic stone layers, about a third as often as standard materials, in small clusters. The second, Lithesium (Once again, credits to Jeousha), occurs in the same exact way as Aurontine. The third, Dextronium (Once again), occurs in the same way, but only occurs one fifth as often as standard materials.  And the last, Xanthogen. Xanthogen is, well, to put it bluntly, pretty pathetic for weapons and armor. It's value, though-- seems Dwarves really like that eye-wrenching color. It is the most valuable material in the game, and slightly rarer than Dextronium.

And the performace? Aurontine out performs silver for blunt weapons, but is terrible for edged weapons. Lithesium is the opposite-- Great for edged weapons, but terrible for blunt. And the last, Dextronium, is better than any other material in the game (Save maybe adamantine itself) for edged weapons and blunt weapons.

I wouldn't be surprised if this turned into a total overhaul mod, so don't expect this to be it.

This is probably the longest post I've ever made.

Oh, one more thing-- I take no responsibility for you if the extreme colors burn the eyes out of your sockets.

I think I have some sort of problem with modding. The lines of code have always flown right through my fingers into the game, and become something awesome. Recently, however, with my Mosquito of Power/Honey Bee of Power mods, while they are still awesome, they're not as awesome as the could be. What should I do?!

We've all been saying Urist to refer to every Dwarf in our fortresses, ever since that one hermit fortress. Just now, I realized, I have no idea whether or not I've been pronouncing it right. Let's see, it could be-

1. Yer-ist (How I've been saying it)
2. You-rist
3. Er-ist
4. Oo-rist

And the list goes on. How do you all pronounce it?

I have two questions about how Dwarves react when they are fearing for their pathetic lives.

One- Will Dwarves run from wild animals who are on chains?

Two- If a Dwarf is running from an animal, will he/she jump into a pit to get away?

I have another question. (I seem to ask quite a lot. Interesting, because I hardly ever have problems modding.) If I put the raw files in folders within raw-objects will it read them? For example, if I place all the creature files in raw-objects-genericfoldercontainingcreatures, will it recognize them?
