Just about the worst thing I've ever seen.

So my brewer, a new mother, got thrown in jail for a production order.



I can hear the frantic screaming.

 I know there was a dwarf fortress story out there about how somebody got a similar message. They looked around for a baby corpse but could not find it. So they searched inside the nearby beer barrels.
 They found the baby.

Drowned in beer.

Considering many of the other causes of death in DF, this one is not so bad.

I guess the other dorfs still drank the beer later... would someone hand me the brain bleach, please?

What?  Alcohol sterilizes stuff.  You'd rather the beer went to waste?

Dwarves drink from the barrel, though, which means at some point someone got baby in his beard.

There are beer bibs specifically designed to keep babies out.

 Oh, it's the same game.  The randomizer has a huge impact on what happens in your game.  Get just the right random numbers rolled up, and you'll witness a once-in-a-lifetime epic (and often tragic) event like this come together.  The most amazing tales are when the randomizer just keeps rolling a chain of events for your fort that usually leads to the whole place dying in a swath of fire and !!Kitten Corpses!!.

Nah, the Random number generator seems to ironically love me in this game.

Surely you all know the RNG is alive somewhere, laughing at us, playing its evil tricks?

I never had this happen though... even though I usualy have plenty of barrels and babies. Does the baby corpse actualy show up as part of the barrels content?

Also, that picture. It would be so sad, if it wernt so hillarious ;D

Made out of kitten leather, one assumes.
