Although sugar makes gnomes hyper, they seem to suffer no ill effects from eating enough desserts to make a member of another race violently ill.2. Gnomes love music, and enjoy a wide variety of musical instruments, from mandolins and flutes to accordions, bagpipes and pipe organs.3. Gnomes love to dance, both complicated group dances with intricate steps and frantic clogging and folk-dancing.4. There are many more gnomes around than anyone believes. Most of them call themselves halflings. In cities, many gnomes pretend to be homeless children.5. Gnomes can find a way to talk about just about anything by providing analogies in the form of jokes or by drawing parallels to the natural world.6. Any gnome who has ever killed anyone taller than a gnome is referred to as a "giant-killer."7. Gnomes invented knock-knock jokes and refuse to apologize for it.8. The best gnomish jokes can take up an hour to tell, don't really work when told in a language other than Gnomish and have been known to keep listeners laughing for hours afterwards.9. The most acclaimed gnomish bards are joke-tellers.10. The other common types of gnomish bards include musicians, story-tellers, writers and jugglers.11. The more important a gnome is in their community, the taller and pointier their hat will be.12. Gnomish communities are typically convenient to important geographical resources, but are well-hidden by tricks of geography, careful replanting of local flora and, of course, illusions.13. Most gnomish communities have been infiltrated by disguised kobolds. Gnomes rarely expose them when the spies are discovered, and instead fill their heads with false information.14. Every gnomish household has multiple animals living in it. They're not considered pets, and will get upset if they see someone mistreating an animal of their own.15. Traps, secret doors and illusions are part of every gnomish community.</blockquote>
