have you noticed there are like 3-4 uses of goblin blood and vomit "paint"
I think this means that at some point Toady should program in 'Paint' as a usable item. That way you can use your dyes for multiple things, and quite literally use goblin blood for paint.

By that point it would turn brown and crusty.

sounds delicious.

There are two 42's on the list.  Adding one to catch it back up.

47. Method of training your other nobles to legendary skill.  Accidentally, because the Duchess apparently is a kung-fu god that snaps the neck of any goblin that she 'accidentally' gets trapped in a room with.  Tough old bat.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Urist Austin, Axedwarf.  A dwarf barely alive.  Gentledwarves, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic dwarf. Urist Austin will be that dwarf. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

From my current fortress
53. Collect goblins in cages. Put them in a room. Drop in splash of magma, before opening the door, and releasing your !!goblins!! into the room with your trade depot, where the elves are unloading the twelfth bin of useless cloth.

If this all doesn't fix it, your dwarfs are lazy. Apply magma.
