Huh, that's fascinating. My Uncle grew potatoes; didn't even know there was seed.

Apparently SOMEONE in my masonry industry really carried a grudge about a kobold thief earlier in my fort.

Ooh. Monster slayers come with reputation. "She is a noted treasure hunter for the Cloudy Band. She is a noted preserver of the knowledge of the Cloudy Band".

A visiting bard came by my fortress.

Now, every so often, the tavern looks like this:



A line of anywhere between 5 and 7 citizens, playing musical instruments, reciting poetry, or chanting.

Pretty neat.

[Stormfeather]

I don't think I took any pictures, but in my last fort of 44.02 (where there were waaaaay too many visitors), the large numbers + a large dance floor ended up with some truly impressive displays of singing and dancing, like in large circles circling around.

A werebeast fell from a great height into some water.

The splash made some mist. I don't remember seeing that happen before. Was pretty neat.

When I decide to dance in Adventure Mode, I always do it in a crowded market. Everyone joins in. I like it.

just found out that dwarves in a tavern will gather around someone telling and story or performing music

I want to try this now.

When using the 'exterminate him' command on a female with DFHack, it will give a message "It's a she!"

The command will still kill the creature though

I read over this a few times in an attempt to parse it. In all readings, I somehow thought it applied specifically to female ducks.

Where the hell did I get 'duck' from?

[martinuzz]

Probably because when skimming your brain can mistake DFHack for both duck and quack.

Did you konw tath yuor bairn's frist atetpmt at miakng snese of wrtiten lagnuage invloves only looikng at the fsirt and lsat letter, word lnghet, and which chrarectas are in bewteen, but not at all at the spcecfiic odrer of those crharactes in bteween the fitrs and last letetr?

If you try hard to read that sentence, you will pain your brain, but if you just skim over it you will notice you can in fact read it at first glance just fine.

EDIT: on an intersting side note, people with specific type of dyslexia can skim-read a garbled sentence like that just as fast and as well as the population average.
They just have trouble with putting the in between letters in the right order when writing.

EDIT2: nice excercise to get a feel for what dyslectic people have to go through when trying to write is to try and construct a garbled sentence like I did here. Make sure the first and last letter are not garbled, and make sure to use the exact same characters as the orginal word.
This puzzling is what dyslectic people have to go through when trying to write normally. I completely agree with allowing them extra time on tests and exams, like they get here in the Dutch school systems.
