I'm aware of surface tension, just heard somewhere water was fine, I might have confused DF with Minecraft though...

Neither do elves. They will live forever unless something kills them.

Well, to share the face palming moment you had. To qualify it's must be something that when you saw it you facepalmed in your own stupidity/obliviousness...

Well, to start, mine:
I have been building a out of the mountain wall to encircle the entrance and work for the outside needs of my dwarves. Ok, after I had built the entire wall, the second store floors, a barracks over the main gate, etc. I finally discover that, well, you can built constructions more than one tile at a time. Yes, after building a few hundred tiles with painstakingly micromanagement, I discover that I could have done that with a tenth of the work...
I only just figured out you could do that after reading this thread.  Great Armok, I'm a fool.  Facepalm indeed.

I started a fortress in a freezing environment with scarse trees.

 I dug my fortress into the side of the cliff face and then started digging down into the mountain and setting upo my fortress as spring progressed. I was worried this was going to be a very short lived fortress as it was late spring and the ice still hadnt melted. I had set up my farming area and was ready to flood it as soon as the ice melted.

By mid Summer the ice finally melted. Little did I know that my wagon had been placed on a sheet of ice and as soon as the ice melted 3 of my 7 dwarves died(My cook, brewer, and carpenter/woodcutter). I set my miners to go expand the area of this pond so that the water could thin out and I could retrieve my belongings. This was succesful, and then my dwarves started wading through the water which was at depth 1-3/7 to retireve my belongings from the fallen wagon. Then, the water froze over. Encasing another 3 of my dwarves  (the 2 miners and my leader). Then a band of kobolds came and slaughtered my last remaining dwarf.

Now ive started a fortress in a desert environment and things arent going too bad. Well, pretty bad. One of my miners decided he wanted to handle the channeling jobs in such a way that caused the mine to collapse on him and he died. Then my other miner did the exact same thing,  except she survived with major injuries, and a case of narcolepsy- she would keep falling asleep. Then she had a tantrum and severly wounded my replacement-miner(peasent).  Not sure how im going to fix this one :P.

Spent about an hour carving out an intricate series of bedrooms and living spaces, to house about 120 in an efficient but asthetic way, then designated it all to be smoothed and went off to take care of some other business.

When I looked back, all of the walls were gone. I accidentally designated the whole area for digging without noticing.
This wouldn't happen to be in Whirlrelic, would it?
Naw, it was Applemurdered. Similar design principle, though :D

It must have been the time I decided to create a moat using the ocean water. I was expecting to dig into the wall next to the ocean and have the dorf run away from the water and pull the floodgate switch after reaching safety. Oceans flood very very fast.

I decided to pull off a little dwarven Valhalla. All my dead military dwarves would be placed in a magma-safe coffin and sent to the bottom of the magma sea. I overcomplicated it and tossed in 5 miners with my Champion Sworddwarf, who singlehandedly fought and destroyed 2 Forgotten Beasts and a goblin siege... AT THE SAME TIME

You didn't Overcomplicate it, maybe could have done with more death...

So I download 0.31.4 version.

I set the graphics, including PARTIAL:2 and G_FPS:5.

It works! It works fast... too fast.

*facepalm*

Then I go look into 40d16 version, how I've set the graphics.

I didn't. I was playing on worse settings, living with 8-20fps in game for almost a year.

I set it to PARTIAL:2 and what? +30 boost to FPS in my large fortress.

*double facepalm*
