Kobolds in adventurer mode, when issuing a challenge, don't speak. They just shout their name and then get on with it.

I had a mayor that loved buckets. I mean, loved buckets. Like every mandate was to make buckets, and the export of buckets was forbidden... best mayor ever, pretty much. Easy to please.

Then, some carpenter went fey and made an artifact wooden bucket. On the image was a picture of my mayor, surrounded by buckets.

Makes me wish that every bucket in the image had that same picture on itself, leading to a quite awesome Planepacked-style fractal image.

On topic, I recently noticed that if vomit and blood are in the same tile, the result is a brown mess. So, colors mix in DF.

Oh god that is awesome, what happened to that guy

The story itself is quite entertaining, actually. Spoilered it 'cause it's so long.

I was reloading my giant magma trap after taking care of a very pesky goblin ambush, and I decided to temporarily deconstruct part of my wall for easy access for peasants.

I designated the "remove construction" order, and (unknown to me) my mayor decided to walk all the way around my wall to remove part of it.

Next thing I know, an Orc siege arrives. Unaware that my mayor is wandering the wilds, I throw the lever to close the main gate to my fort.

A minute later, I get the message "Urist McMayor cancels Remove Construction: Interrupted by Orc." I watched helplessly as my mayor was quite literally cut in half by an orc.

After I opened the gate to deal with the invaders, my champions decided to completely ignore an orc sniper who snuck in through the gate, and went up a stairway to the top of my wall. The sniper was having a hell of a time, taking potshots at random peasants still on the walls.

Well, random peasants and the aforementioned legendary carpenter, who dodged off the wall, fell 4 z-levels, broke both legs and an arm, and miraculously survived. He was then finished off by some random orc.

By this time, my military was in shambles, and most of my dwarves were either dead or tantruming, and I wondering whether I should burst out laughing or collapse into a sobbing wreck. When the invading orcs finally reached my meeting hall, they were greeted by the sight of a bunch of dwarves punching each other.

I bet they split their sides laughing.

That was a truly epic fort.

Twice now I've encountered roaches in adventure mode.  They seem to serve no other purpose than stepping on, which leaves a roach corpse and a little ichor.  Reminds me of Animal Crossing.

In Fortress mode, when you select a goblin civilization and hit Tab to see imports and exports, it says,

Exports to [fortress]: Terror
Imports from [fortress]: Vengeance

[Kidiri]

Horses, donkeys and mules are immortal. They have no [MAXAGE:~]-tag.

I just discovered that muddy engraved granite floor tiles turn an awesome shining gold color.

This happens with kobolds too.

Exports to [fortress]: Petty Annoyance
Imports to [fortress]: Death

[Leafsnail]

I wish there was a way of modding it for elves, but it seems to be hardcoded at the moment.  For elves I'd put:

Exports to [fortress]: Useless piles of junk
Imports from [fortress]: Heating and rock

Mountain Goat gods? BLASPHEMY.

[Leafsnail]

I did wonder how that mountain goat mauled my best hunter.  This was the hunter who had fought off an ambush single handed (he was in the area, so I recruited him to see what would happen.  BAM.  Goblins suffer catastrophic internal injuries).

[Vester]

Id must have been watching over him.

I've seen other animal gods, but they are generally matched to their spheres.

In my current world, I've seen a giant rat god (caverns, mountains), a carp god (human god of rivers and something else, equivalent to a Native American trout god.) one that took the form of a monarch butterfly (also humans I think, didn't check the spheres), a fire man god representing the sun among other things, and an oyster god which had the spheres of fishing and some other stuff.

I also spotted a dwarven god who only had one sphere... food and was called the something butter of mushrooms. Lol, maybe their food was so bad that they made a god to make thier food better. The closest RL god may be Dionysus/Bacchus who pretty much was the god of feasting.

Any idea why? Anyhow, it's easy to insert the maxage tag in there and I just did.

Oh yea, how could I forget His Noodly Appendage, the Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster.
