True, I agree. I just can't find any examples prior ~1800.

As much as I'd want these, I have a feeling that one way valves are a little too modern.

Oh, but removing the "tears off your pants and beats you with them" would mean that adventurers can't be beaten to death with their own masterwork deer leather pants!

There are a number of Q-no-U words in the English language. Not all of them START with Q either.

Not true. If two rooms share the same space each takes half the value of the objects in that room towards it's impressiveness. Try it with a noble sometime by giving them a dining room and an office in the same space. First give him the dining room, check to see how much he likes it, then give him the office, check a second time for how much he likes it.
Obviously, the room has to be of sufficient value that when it's cut in half the descriptor changes.
It's this very mechanic that means by baron/baroness consort tomb needs 4 platinum statues to be a masuleum and not 2. There are two coffins, each takes half of the value (2 platinum statues = ~2000*) and if we check the wiki...
Great

A great tomb is called a Mausoleum

#4 is unnessessary because if you designate one table as a dining room ALL tables it covers are automatically part of that dining room.
2xBoots/goves/socks/shoes is also unnessessary because one queue of "make socks" makes, in fact, 2 socks. The rest of that suggestion would be nice though.
Quoting: (almost) standard BBCode.
code:

text, QB stands for Quote Body.
Just do a [ /qb][ /QUOTE] YOUR REPLY [ QUOTE][ qb] to reply to a section

I had to add spaces or it'd get parsed as a quote. Odd, seeing as the [code] tag should keep the parser from parsting it. TOADY! Fix the forums please

Sweet!
Now if dwarves would actually buy new clothing when they need it (and all at once, not a pair of sock now and a tunic in 4 months!)

Just for reference, all t-shirts fade when you wash them. To prevent this, turn the shirt inside out. I bought some shirst last July and started doing that with them, they still look brand new.
