I embarked on a cave.  Somehow my wagon (all 3x3 squares of it) ended up inside the cave, despite the fact that the cave only has a 1-tile wide entrance.

So yeah...this should probably be in bug reports, huh? 

No matter!  I'll keep in in the cave and set up the level it's on as a museum!  Tourists from all over will arrive at my fortress and scratch their heads in wonder at my Marvelous, Space Defying Wagon o' Broken Physics!

Dwarven engineering doesn't listen to the humans' "laws" of physics.

Relatedly, I embarked in an area that had a big steep mountain on the right and a flat plain on the left. I found my dwarves halfway up the mountain (the sides of which were a maximum of about two walkable squares wide at any given point).

Will do!

I embarked on a volcano once to find my dwarves standing on top of the ledge, my wagon gone, and my supplies scattered. One of the mules immediately burned to death, and I think some of my supplies were in the volcano. All 7 dwarves were fine, but unable to get down - since it was a good 10 level sheer drop to the nearest ground below and the only pick that had apparently survived was at the bottom (along with a few barrels of dwarven beer and cave lobster, as well as a splattered corpse of the poor cow that I had brought with me - I can only assume they spawned in mid-air and fell, I didn't see the drop).

I abandoned and came back with a reclaim party, which appeared near the volcano on normal ground with everything intact. I didn't play long, though - I just couldn't get over the absurdity of having a giant pillar of lava sitting there above everything else.

This is unrelated to the actual topic, but very related to the title.  Something weird that happened to me in my fort that I had sealed off from the outside because I couldn't handle goblin attacks (sad, I know): I was digging deeeeep near a cavern, and accidentally dug into an underground lake; I was astonished when, along with craploads of water, in washed copious amounts of goblin blood.  I could find no goblins in the cavern, and that area was actually even devoid of other weird crap that my dwarves have spotted in other sections of cavern further up.

I was about to say, keep that, that be one of them rare space defying wagons.

Whaaaaaaaaat.

Had any Goblins been bleeding into your lakes?

I think one of your dwarves washed himself or his sword of goblin slaying +7 in your cave river.  I know my dwarves are trekking piles of macaque blood all over my fortress, and I can't convince them to clean it up.

I dunno, the blood came in with the water the second I breached it, and I don't have any part-time miner/soldiers.  I also just now found a lot of donkey/dog/dwarf/goblin blood smears on some up/down staircases, but curiously only in three floors of stairs that are waaaaay far down from the surface; none above, none below.  Weird.  I think blood is just teleporting around.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and this underground lake was not one that I actually allowed my dwarves to have contact with prior to this (I spied a forgotten beast that scared the hell out of me, so I didn't send anyone in to explore deeper).

there might be something weird going on with blood and water because I was trying to drown a human law giver, sacrificing one of my miners in the process, and once the water hit the room, blood spatter appeared on the far side, away from where the dorf was unconscious and it kept flickering in and out.

The only problem with the museum wagon is that the wagon counts as an everything stockpile with unlimited space. I did a reclaim and when I did a mass reclaim on the leftover goods my dwarves immediately tried to store everything in the wagon.

Hey, this forgotten beast...

He doesn't happen to spew goblin blood or anything, does he?

That's odd, the blood usually gets off on the third floor...
