My axedwarf invented inadvertently the hand grenade while fighting a giantess in a 1/7 magma pool. (She survived the explosion. The giantess, not the dwarf.)
Two other soldiers have now died trying to retrieve the shiny, burning loot.
Taking your bets as of when they will stop...

I bet they will stop when you forbid it by pressing [ d ] > [ b ] > [ f ] > [ ENTER ] over the tile 

PPE: flasks in alcahol does the trick. barrels kinda work too.

How do you put a flask in alcohol?

Spill some alcohol on the ground, dump the flask into it.

Spill some alcohol on the ground, dump the flask into it.

But then the flask's just on the alcohol!

I had my expedition leader get into a mood and take hold of the masonry.

He worked and worked.

And made a great artifact, legendary to say the least. Created from finest marble, with it's own, sounding name: "Ledushko". (not sure about the name right now)

It's a

door

At first I lol'ed. Then I wept a little. Then I lol'ed again.

A door that a building destroyer won't be able to break down? What could possibly be the point of that?

1. Mod water to be alcahol (this will probably require hacking into the game, which no-one has done yet and hopefully won't)
2. 
3. Profit!

Failing my Dwarven biology, how do Giant toads reproduce?

That, fortunately, I'm aware of, I just didn't do it because I was intentionally leading my fortress to a certain death 
It's still facepalm-worthy, just like masons walling themselves off on the wrong side, or channeling the ground they're standing on. But just because it's easy to prevent doesn't mean dwarfs aren't complete morons for risking to kill themselves whenever we're not feeling especially benevolent.

Fill a large pool with spilled alcohol, THEN drop the flask into it!

I've gotta start making new clothes. All my dwarves are walking around in the tattered remnants of what they arrived wearing. This presumably includes the original seven dwarves, who may or may not be still alive.

[Musashi]

That's not the good way to go! Fill a large pool with spilled alcohol, then let drip one drop of 1/7 magma into it. Have FunŽ.

Dwarves will claim new clothes, but never put them on.
Unless that's been fixed. Has it been fixed?

I don't think so. The only way to make sure they don't walk around naked, is to create a civilian-only kind of military uniform (weird, I know, bear with me) and forcefully enroll everyone in squads so they HAVE to wear it. Won't work with kids, cripples, or dorfs enrolled in the regular army.

Hmm... If you do it the other way around... Alcohol-rich obsidian?

Me: Heh, cute. Terrifying ocean indeed, lol.

Me: Oh crap they can move on land!!!!!

[Vhorthex]

Dwarf fell into a lake during battle, once done, he was still alive. Decide to channel the sides of the lake (it was quite small) until the water was shallow enough to get the wounded soldier.

After just a few channels, the lake emptied itself very quickly...
