how strong is the strongest dwarf?

[Isaac]

I'm having trouble finding this answer.

[sdfgeoff]

Stronger than you...
But not stronger than Chuck Norris.

[TigerRaptor]

Chuck Norris is 72 year old christian man.

That is the reality.

[roid]

but not way strong


edit: i don't think wolframalpha has data on human strength

Chuck Norris is 72 year old christian man.

That is the reality.

your point????????

[TigerRaptor]

your point????????

Chuck Norris jokes = Highly overrated.

[Alter-Fox]

TigerRaptorFX = Completely missing the point of those jokes.

[TigerRaptor]

Ha! No I get them. But they are overrated, overused and downright annoying.

It comes off that way, but I think his point is, we shouldn't immortalize him for no apparent reason. And that being random just to be random isn't funny. I get his perspective, but I like randomness.


Back on topic, Dwarf Fotress is an awesome game. It's also made me realize, dwarves are bad ass. Then it made me wonder how strong a dwarf could be. I mean, if one were just as strong as a Mike Tyson the dwarf would benefit by having a lower center of gravity, meaning more stability. And in a real fight the dwarf could win.

[TigerRaptor]

People don't like the idea of me calling it as it is.

Well then, to bad.

[Alter-Fox]

No no it was comical because with your wording you missed the point by like a hair -- if you worded it any other way I might have even agreed. Like when you shoot your MD at that phoenix but your ping is just high enough that hitting the ship doesn't actually hit it. That close a miss.

Isn't the point of those jokes how absurdely highly overrated their subject is?

[Isaac]

This thread? A topic on dwarves? Zero chance of success?

What are we waiting for?

@dissent

Everyone with custom titles, like "DBB Artist", has no reason to care about post counts. Custom titles are fixed. They don't "improve" with more posts. Ours could be stuck at 0 posts and we wouldn't care, as long as user rights were the same, because our titles are already cool.

Now, a netted value of Likes vs Dislikes would be a good number.

Issac, being a dwarf means you suffer from a crippling condition that is typically degenerative. Most have joint issues that make "strong" a relative term. For some, it's measured by how long they can stand without the use of their crutches/braces. You might find some younger "short people" that can lift a considerable amount, but remember that you are talking about a group of people that are known from being tossed ... not tossing.

Yeah.. i know there is a distinction between "dwarf" and "midget" but it's moot.


Now... if you're talking about a dwarf Star ... that's a different matter all together!

[Isaac]

Maybe you're thinking of those people that are the size of an infant.

I meant, Dwarves.

Give this dude an axe!!

[Duper]

I know what you meant Issac.

[Isaac]

Man, if I was a Dwarf, I'd sport the hell out of it. I'd wear a viking helmet and flip tables. I'd call my apartment a mine... A MINE!

[woodchip]

If I was a dwarf, I'd get into the porn business.

[Isaac]

If I was a dwarf, I'd get into the porn business.

They'd still call you Woody but it'd have a whole second meaning. Then you'd have to change it to something else once pixar sues. No wait... you'd just axe them in the face, because dwarves don't put up with that crap.
