Some elven traders recently blew in, I accidentally traded one of my wood items. They got mad and ran off, only to trigger a goblin ambush and get slaughtered. I send my soldiers and kill the goblins of course, then got all the loot. That's karma ya freaking elves.

It seems with every fort I get, my dwarves take odd priorities over making things out of stone and wood.
Every time this happens, my hunter has often killed everything on the map, so I tell him to be a Mason/Carpenter
And every time I do this, not long after he gets stricken by a strange mood and makes a cabinet.
Why do my hunters keep making legendary cabinets?

Lots more animals to hunt in Narnia?

I was playing on the "Huge Waterfall" Map by Ironhands(?) - guy with the llama icon. 

I get the "You have discovered a magma pipe" but it didn't show up on my map, like it's supposed to.  So I dug a stairway upwards, hoping to run another shaft to make it appear....  when I manage to drill directly INTO the magma pipe, from below.

The magma pours down, and my miner survives.  But before he could wall it up, the magma chases him down the hallway and over the bridge.
Then, it begins to pour over the sides of the bridge and into the smaller river.  And then it started to spread.  At this moment, the smaller tributary is half dammed, and the larger river is getting a nice chunk turned into magma.
This map rocks.

I made a floor that was one tile wide partway across a river valley. I decided it was pointless, so I designated it to be deconstructed. Suddenly, all my dwarves grab a drink at the food stockpile and rush to be on top of it. The only tile protecting the bridge from falling is removed and all but 2 of my dwarves fall down many z levels and die. I paused it while they were falling and yes, they were still drinking. 
How dwarvish.

I "found" dead goblins and they had troll leather clothes...

I had made an area with alternating grates and floor, around a waterfall.  I decided that I did not need so many rows of grates and started directing the Dwarves to remove the ones farthest from the waterfall.  After the first one fell two stories and broke his arm because he was standing on a grating someone else was removing, I figured out I had to have them removed in two sets of every other grating.

Everything was going fine and then I got the message that someone had stopped destroying a building to seek her infant.  I rushed over and saw a fresh splatter of blood two levels down.  Fearing the worst, I looked at the mother, who had given birth to twins not along ago.  She had dropped BOTH of them down a hole in order to remove a grating.  They only had grey damage, which had already healed by the time I had finished looking up the severity of that color.  Now we know just how tough Dwarven babies are: you can drop them two stories and they just get a little scrape that heals in no time at all.

Edit: She just gave birth again.  She now has five children, three of them babes-in-arms.  Heaven only knows how she is carrying all three, since she had to drop two to pick up a grating.

If they're tough enough to handle a two-floor drop, maybe they're strong enough to carry each other.
