+One of the more ludicrous debates in [[Main:Dwarf Fortress|Dwarf Fortress]] is as to which type of camel is more dangerous: the one-humped or two-humped variety?
 The technical answer is simple:
 A weapon will hit a random body part; a one humped camel has fewer body parts (lacking the second hump) and hence it will be marginally easier to score a lethal hit on a one humped camel rather than the two-humped variety.
 Once genetics and breeding and magic get in, however, we can start to see artificial selection for even more dangerous camels:
-:''"In 2342, the wizard Arkanadir Morlavator developed a new race: the dreaded three-humped camel. This quickly set off a cascade of imitators, and it wasn't 2 years later that the 4-humped camel was produced. A competition, at first friendly but later becoming ferocious came about to develop the camel with the most humps. This finally ending in 2478 with Mogaria Fornenzon's development of the limbless, headless 18-humped camel which died immediately upon birth, upon which event everyone decided breeding camels with ridiculous numbers of humps was a stupid idea. The number-of-limbs-on-a-{{L|GCS}} was the next contest devised, but that competition was an utter disaster which led to the wholesale slaughter of the wizards, and the rise of the fourth age."''
