Why nobles demand windows underground?

To see the magma.

That you shouldn't have pulled the lever.

How the heck can dwarves mine blocks on the layer above through a bridge over some ramps?

What would it be like to live in a world that was copy/pasted? Would we even notice? If not, how many times have we switched celestial harddrives or whatever?

Very skinny pick handles.

Why can you build an immense fortress using just sand from a single tile?

Because they're synonyms.

Why are elves so pitiful?

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

Why can an elephant not break down a wooden bridge on it's way to your fortress.
And what the heck is an elk bird?

And the Urist dwarf thing comes from way back in the 2D version, if memory serves.  One dwarf against the world.  Look it up, it's pretty funny.

It's not that elves are pitiful; it's just that we compare them to the awesomeness that are dwarves.

1. Because not even magma can break down a construction, until you alter its state (in this case, raise/lower the bridge).
2. A bird the size of an elk.

Why are dwarves so concerned with going to where an enemy was, as opposed to where it is?

The dog misses the ball!
The ball softly hits Urist McTrainer in the head, breaking the paper-thin skull and denting the non-existent brain!

Why do dwarfs not realize they are on fire until it is too late?

Because their overseer demands it.

I'll try this again:

Because they're drunk.

They have. They just didn't live long enough to actually tell somebody.

Can somebody think of a question for me?

No.

How it is possible that dwarves have to walk over a corpse several times, literally stomping on him, to notice he's dead, not missing?

Hauling that rock salt is REALLY IMPORTANT. They just get caught up. Better than having them do "No Job", right?

Urist McHunter shoots a vampire in the heart with a wooden bolt. How long does it take it to die?

Hard to tell. Was the vampire sparkling?

Also, take note that a bolt is not a stake. In Bram Stoker΄s Dracula the stakes used were 3 feet long and supposed to have them nailed to the ground so they dont rise up again.
