If the game doesn't crash, and you have a playable race, that might be a very fun error. Entire races of Forgotten Beasts?

Oddly enough, I have got fortress mode to run. All of my dwarfs are towering feathered bristleworms with wings. They have barrels made of turkey tallow and chests made out of human hair.

Also, the wagon appears to have been hauled by turkeys.

Yup, duplicate raws. The gift that keeps on giving (you insane amounts of insanity)!

Wait... Do they bristleworms have hands? Mwa-ha-ha-ha...

(Blarg. I should really get some sleep. Starting to get kinda giddy.)

They ain't got no hands at-all. All they do is look at their tools forlornly, feeling ashamed.

I'm going to mess around with this, though. A fortress of forgotten beasts is something worth trying for.

My very first fortress, when I tried to irrigate a small cavern for mining.
Urist Mcleverpuller decided that, no, on second thought, that water on the other side of the room was really scary, so pulling the lever to close the floodgate on -this- side of the room had far too real a possibility of getting him slightly damp.
15 minutes and plenty of fun later, I finish loading my new fortress.

Embarking on a temperate site, seeing only snow at the beginning, no water. Already thinking how to dig down to the lower cavern levels for water, then I do *one* layer down below the surface and I see frozen ponds under the snow. Facepalm, and happiness that I will have easy access to water in a couple of months.

Better that than *not* noticing the pool directly under your waggon.

My militia commander passing out after killing an enemy goblin. Passing out while on top of my only weapon trap.

my level puller pulling the bridge lever AFTER the savanna titan had crossed the perimeter bridge....**facepalm** wouldnt have been so bad except my military intercepted it on the bank of a pool....half drowned from dodging, the other half from the titan: which was eventually killed by a war capybara.

--sigh.

Hah, that's the way. Some dig safety ramps on pools to reduce their awesome deadliness.

Realizing that I could use bridges instead of floodgates to control water partway through my giant tower-cap farm project.

Locking Urist McMoody in his room, only to discover a few months later "Urist McChild cancels sleep, interrupted by dwarf." shortly after Urist McMoody went breserk.  It turns out that I had accidently mined out a wall to the next bedroom.  I lost 3 dwarves before my military showed up. 

FUN.

I've had Dorf's wh ohave pulled a Monty Python's Black Knight. They've had limbs chopped off and just keep coming. Although most of those are my patented "Spartan Dwarfs."
except in DF, the "I'll bit your legs off" threat is serious.

Finished digging the cistern and plumbing for my dining room wells (conveniently located 7 z-levels down).  Channeled the river to fill it, and suddenly realized that I forgot to depressurize the water.  Glub glub glub.
