Give that speardwarf the best bedroom you have available. Evict the king if you have to.

Be sure to include custom stockpiles of his/her favorite drinks and foods in the dining room (which, of course, will be the best in the fortress).

And re-name the dwarf "Mike Tyson."

A speardwarf bites a FB in the head, the head is severed later and sails off in an arc... Does this mean the speardwarf flew off with it?

That mental picture made my day. Thank you.

Id make the entire fort be centred around this dwarf. Id make his furniture out of platnum, and makde sure he only eats masterful meals.

If only just to make sure he doesnt later go insane.

Where is the chemistry
They tried chemistry once.
It created soap.
Dwarves lost interest in chemistry after that.

Dwarf Fortress, where the best way to keep someone happy is to wall them into a small room with some REALLY GOOD food.

Thanks for the suggestion, but Number4 is correct: [...] it would be easier and more predictable to just be a racist.

Did somebody just rule 34 two veins of metal?

Only farm plants and animals that he likes, and make all of the furniture out of a material he likes. Cage his favorite animals and make them into a zoo for him. Find out what kind of cloth he likes and what color he wants it, and make him an entire wardrobe (hell, make everyone in the fortress wear his favorite fabric, in his favorite color).

Perhaps you should post his personality page so that we can scour his preferences for more crazy stuff to do :D

My dwarf once bit a FB made of zinc - and dented its lower body.  The beast was weighing 70000. Similarly, it was attacking itself. Beast are often not immune to their effects, like fire or paralysis, which can lead to funny moments.

Dwarven bite is quite strong, but apart from tearing noses or ears I doubt it is able to make more damage than dent something.

More importantly, if you check the speardwarf's inventory, he should have the head in his mouth for a few seconds. 

I had a dwarf bite the head off a cave crocodile, but in fairness, he had no hands left to punch it with.  He then ran off on a murderous feast, chomping down on olm men hearts through their bodies and nomming on trolls.  He later got strangled to death by a batman :(

Clearly that dwarf was The Penguin.
