My fort was recently beseiged by a forgotten beast, made of ice who proceeded to make a rather large dent in my fort's population, until one incredibly awesome dorf (hereafter referred to as 'Urist McHero') decided he had enough of the invincible ice-man and somehow managed to tackle it into a river, along with himself, and now both parties are fighting with no sign of stopping, despite the fact that  almost all of  Urist McHero's fingers are broken.

How should i tribute Urist McHero's heroic sacrifice on the behalf of my fort?

EDIT: Urist McHero is now dead, but now pretty much EVERYTHING on the FB is red, except his left foot, and both trunks.

Urist McHero has become enraged!
Urist McHero: I've had it with these mothercarping beasts in this mothercarping fort!

Edit: I've also run into a weird thing where vermin corpses in my refuse pile isn't rotting away. Is this a new bug?

Yeah its a new bug, but its been fixed for the next update.

Build an enormous statue over said river, with its fist in the air. If your water freezes in winter, make it of ice.

[Kidiri]

This is not good. I wanted to make an above-ground fortress, and a clock. I've just discovered that in 31.05 the map apparently freezes during winter. So now I've got to find a way to have some magma beneath AND above the clock. And also a way to keep what will be my water supply warm. Also, the nearest magma is at z-level -116. Yippee!

Ebra Ukgestuzang, Forgotten Beast has come!

A gigantic six-legged quadruped composed of mud.  It has a bloated body.  Beware its webs!

Ebra has been hanging around under my fortress for several years now.  I've blocked off the caverns for the time being, not wanting monsters to get into my fortress from underneath.  I've rigged up a drawbridge mechanism to let me periodically drop a few kittens down there to act as scouts and explorers.

Ebra loves to attack kittens.  Ebra always gets the worse of these encounters.  The fights consist of Ebra rushing over to a kitten and kicking at it, every attack glancing away harmlessly.  Sometimes the kitten is knocked over, still without any injury that I can determine.  The kittens fight back, of course, tearing fragments of tissue (which seems to consist of mud) out of the forgotten beast, leaving yellow wounds on its body.  Ebra doesn't feel pain and has no blood, so this doesn't seem to bother it much.  The fights go on until the kitten gets annoyed enough to run away and escape from their utterly incompetent opponent.

That's right, I have a forgotten beast who is physically incapable of harming a kitten.  I have rigged up an elaborate magma-based deathtrap for killing otherwise unkillable titans and forgotten beasts, but I don't see the point in using it against Ebra.  Maybe I'll try and capture him for use as a practice dummy for my soldiers or something.  Pity it doesn't actually throw webs that I could tell, or I would use it to set up a forgotten beast silk farm.

Then why the other two are called legs? 

[Sphalerite]

The other two legs are for kicking kittens.

I've had that - it means you've accidentally started in a sub-menu before defining the material. Press Esc and you should get back to the main workshop menu.

[Hippoman]

it eventually went back to normal.
And by eventually...I mean right after I posted this. C:

Fixed.
