Because when your wrestlers spar, they will occasionally throw eachother down the well and drown. I've had it happen many times.

When anyone spars, there's a good chance of falling into the well.  I've lost more axedwarfs to drowning in the well than sparring wounds.

That's why I keep my wells just outside at the closest.

 find that I identify forum goers more by their signatures than anything else.
That being said, I should probably think of something witty to put here.

Tried that. Had a pair of swordsmen standing IN THE DOORWAY sparring, and one of them got tossed back into the well. Now I know just how stupid dwarves can be.

I am impressed.

The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.

Hi!
Well I managed to drown my only noble ruler merchant etc.  by testing out my draw-bridge. Bridge works alright.

Told my skilled mason/architect to remove a hanging bridge which was supporting another hanging bridge.  The idea was, remove bridge number one and bridge number two (far enough away to not suck my mason in) would fall down and not require the long process of removal.

Result:

Bastard stood on the wrong bridge.  Had a long chat with the batmen on his way down.
