just found out it got worse: i have a 24 tile bedroom with identical design for each dwarf and of course the tile that dropped was the tile that had the bed located on it...it killed a legendary mason and an almost legendary armorer who where sleeping at the time. Serves them right for not being at work ^^

Note to the rest of the dorfs: You see this paste where these highly skilled workers used to be? No one is safe unless they're working! NOW GET BACK TO WORK.

I once lost my broker (the only dorf in the whole damn fort with any social skills  ) because a cave-in landed next to him, the ensuing dust blast turning him into so many dwarf-chunk-coloured wall decorations... Learned not to use cave-ins to hollow out frequently traveled areas.

Elven caravans are unarmed anyway... But did the goblins not attack them?

In my quest for symetry, I had two doors on every side of my above-ground fortification.  Which meant the goblins could go in one side, while not even seeing the elves hanging about the trade depot.  I like to think they were slaughtered after the goblins were done wtih the fort.

my best face palm moment was when i was experimenting with syndromes to create biological weapons.

I had made water channels all around the map and had distributed the syndrome into them. sadly my herbalist was and idiot *shocker* and get contaminated.... lets just say i failed to quarantine him in time and he infected the rest of the fortress.... and while my fortress was slowly being killed by my weapon my medical dwarfs decided to throw a party....... that moment was among my top 10 list of "fun" ways to kill my fortress in dwarf fortress.

I had a recent facepalm moment...   Caught me by surprise considering I've played DF for a pretty long time, albeit off and on.

Recently got back into playing after a long break, and had a decent Fort going.   Hit about 150 dwarves, crazy self-sufficient, just started work on using some magma to my advantage.   

Suddenly I found I couldn't build workshops...   or designate stuff...  or basically get any of the commands to work.   I thought well maybe my keyboard is derping, but the ESC key took me to the menu.   So I restarted DF, and still same problem.  After fifteen minutes of trying to get something to work I thought maybe the Fort is bugged somehow.   Abandoned... 

...then saw the Caps Lock light on.

Personal Facepalm-moment of the day:
The cripple of the fortress, who is running around with a crutch, didn't want to put that wooden training sword away until... he got attched to it -.- And he had a copper axe and a shield. After that i put him to desk-jobs.

Im not sure if this counts, as it wasint me that caused it, but its still kindof hilarious.

I had about 45 dwarves and was screwing around when my second goblin siege on that fortress appeared. I was still trying to get back to 100 after the last one and had no military watsoever. So, well, you know the drill. Anyway after they retreaded i had 4. Among them was the one person i had named "Old man sniches" because he was the only one left from the original 7 dwarves that i started with. How ironic.....

Post-Scamps, however, I hear the famous Thermonuclear Catsplosion is notoriously difficult to initiate...


Oh, and I recently had a FPM that forced a save scum: I accidentially channeled away one of the walls to my underground tree farm, giving goblins and trolls the run of the fort in the process... 
Cue a lot of destroyed buildings in the kitchen area and a whole bunch of dead dorfs.

Lead short sword. At least when someone is struck with the flat of the blade it will hurt.
