[Rainbow_Lizard]

Because the bags are too useful to waste.

Why do my idle dwarves who are being constantly annoyed by forgotten beast extract and have the cleaning labour on still never bother to scrub the floors?

[Urist Mcfortwrecker]

because a crippled weasel is scaring them

Why do dwarves run away from everything?

[Nexaduro]

Dwarves don't run away. They're actually trying to kite the enemies, like they saw an adventurer do once, but can't figure out how to pick up rocks.

Why is my broker so lazy?

[WanderingKid]

Why is my broker so lazy?

Because there's no booze in the stockpile, and his bed's soooo soft.

Why do I always get an overabundance of flying FBs?

[acetech09]

Because magma gives you wings.

Why does a Copper + Silver + Gold alloy turn purple?

[Yerv]

I don't really know, I'm not sure the dwarves know either, but the Romans probably did.
Why do we use animal traps to catch small animals? Shouldn't we just be snatching them?

[WanderingKid]

Because magma gives you wings.

Why does a Copper + Silver + Gold alloy turn purple?

Because with that much valuable ore in it, it can only be a royal metal.

Why do we use animal traps to catch small animals? Shouldn't we just be snatching them?

Dwarves can't hold onto their babies, you expect them to catch rats?

Why is minecart math so bloody wonky?

[flame99]

They're tools of Armok, what do you expect?

Why do I always end up killing my dwarves when I attempt to utilize minecarts?

[shinyarceus4]

Well, Armok is the god of blood, and as you said, minecarts are tools of Armok...

How come there are only bronze colossi?

[WanderingKid]

Because any collossi made of other materials have long since been hunted down, trapped, and melted to bars by dwarven ancestors.  They were worth too much.

How does an FB with only one eye, and thus no depth perception, fly with any accuracy?

[Yerv]

They don't fly, they're marionettes made by Armok, he's a godly puppeteer.
Why does platinum come in nuggets? They aren't delicious like chicken nuggets, so I don't see how they can come in a nugget form.

[UnlawfullyDeranged]

Because as the least reactive metal it aggregates around itself and isn't often found in compounds, like iron is.

Why has DF lasted so much longer the vast majority of other games?

[shinyarceus4]

Because of the tightly-knit community, woven out of Armok's sinew.

Why are elves cannibals?

[UnlawfullyDeranged]

Because they are the only organically grown meat according to elven standards, and so are considered a delicacy.

Why is adamantine so valuable, when it is on every single map? It's perhaps the least rare metal in the game, since comparatively I've gotten plenty of sites without iron, but none without the bluemetal.

[flame99]

The Clowns tend to guard the candy well.

Why was "Clowns" chosen as the spoiler-proof name?
