A helpful dwarf made a bar/block bin from turkey bone.  Oakenseared the Gulf of Strapping, a Bar/Block Bin <turkey bone> <#9>.

What is the #9 part?  I don't remember seeing that on an artifact ever.

It's assigned to a stockpile.

As jwoodward48df said, the bin has been assigned to stockpile #9, which happens to be a Bar/Block stockpile. This is a proper dwarven usage of artifacts.

That should have been more obvious to me.

Well... I can't think of much use for an indestructible bin... at least you got an extra bin without using wood/metal?

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

It's flammable. Get an unlimited supply of water and a bit of magma. Set the bin on fire using the magma, drain the magma away, prepare to flood the room with perpetual water. Reroute all invaders through that room. Seal them in. Release the water. Watch goblins drown and burn at the same time.

Edit: Dwarf Fortress may or may not have turned me into a psychopath, as I actually find elaborate death traps fascinating.

I'm not sure that would actually work - if the bin itself is on fire, I believe exposure to water just extinguishes it. If you want a perpetual fire that cannot be extinguished, you need a flammable artifact inside another bin (since the bin prevents its contents from being put out).

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

Ah, true.
