THIS is being addicted to DF. Seriously.
« on: April 06, 2010, 02:12:23 pm »

So today I had a geography test.

Question: What are the current irrigation megaprojects being built in eastern Africa?

Answer: Such megaprojects are the magma waterfalls of...

I had written that before even noticing. Apparently, my brain reacts spontaneously to the word "megaproject".  :P

If you got enough space and time, you can add an alternative answer that says just that.

One of the toads decided to go for a swim in the moat - presumably because he could path through the moat to my dwarves. He is not charging in, just loitering in the moat.

The toad is having a nice relaxing swim.
The goblin mounted on his back, however, is drowning.

Why do you resist the words of the Great Toad, even as they flow into your mind? Reality has become outdated. DWARF FORTRESS IS THE FUTURE.

Do not resist change. Let it flow throughout your mind and body. Walk in it, breathe in it, and LIVE IN IT! Once the transformation is complete you must spread the philosophy of the Great Toad to your friends and family. Remember that cute girl at <insert_location_here>? Or that old guy at the park? They must also be enlightened in the ways of the dorf.

Now go my son.

Your intellectual aspirations are all justified in the name of the Cat, the Brother, and the One Toad.

Even though I think I incorrectly transplanted that declaration.

You, sir, win. Now all I see when I look at my expedition leader is Picard with a massive beard and a mug of ale.

All I'm imagining now is the Dwarf you name as Chief Medical Dwarf exceeding the Dwarf Fortress programming and becoming self aware, eventually demanding that he be given the same rights as any flesh and bone human being.

Then you laugh maniacally, unplug the computer, and throw the hardware into the nearest lava vent, i.e. the proper dwarvish response.

Then suddenly you have an overwhelming urge to run outside and pick up a sock you didn't even know was there in the first place.

All while a Dwarf sits at his Magma Powered PC playing Human City.

Me: I developed a way to catch demons which shoot web, then I forced it to work in a sweatshop and shoot its magma-proof web at children so I can collect it to make clothes.

Not even kidding, my little brother left his socks outside once, and all I could think of was, "That's why he's so friggin short".

You had better not have changed your answer! Magmafall should have been the answer to EVERY question in school.
