Really, what? Has magma always acted like a movable item when it melts down rocks, or is my game glitched out? This is hilarious! And totally worth 1 dorfbuck! I shall share my grand fortune with the elves immediately!

Clearly, this represents six side-by-side wheelbarrows, as indicated by the right half of the icon.  The left half indicates they are carrying babies with hats in these wheelbarrows.

Presumably, they are lining up to dump them into the baby furnaces.

Magma is the name given to the stone material's liquid state in the raws.

It is also the universal solution.

Ah, thats why its like that. Has anyone ever tried to pick it up like that? If temperature is off, it seems plausible.

You'd need a container. After all, you can't pick up booze outside of a container.

I've had dwarves get liquid metal coating on them with the temperature off in the course of their duties...only to die instantly when you turn the temperature back on.
