Successfully breached the adamantine tube with fortifications!  I built stairs up to where an "indentation" in the tube got me close to the middle, and carving fortifications revealed it to be hollow from ground level to several Z levels up!  Got the message "horrors from the deep" and two kinds of demons have appeared inside the tube, but no indication yet whether they can squeeze through the fortification.  Hasn't murdered my framerate yet either; perhaps we're far enough from Hell to not spawn infinite demons yet.

Still unable to mine though.

Update:  Well this is weird; the demons have disappeared from my units list and the tube is empty again.  Maybe they wandered off.

It was all a lie! It wasn't made by Armok! It was made by the demons of hell as a path to heaven! They're invading! The apocalypse will soon be upon us all!

You should probably include a link to this thread in the wiki page.

I guess I'll have to dig up a similarly odd event I discovered. 

I had started an embark with a volcano, since I wanted easy magma access.  It turns out I got more than I bargained for, as I found a massive tube of obsidian and magma climbing out of the mountain.  While it does not boast such amazing height as the Spire, it was quite neat.

Too rare (would be discovered and well-known long ago), makes game too non-functional. It is for sure not intended feature.

AFAIK Frumpy, thats very normal in 2010. All but one of the volcanoes I have embarked on have looked like that.
 It is much more rare to get a flat top one, or ground level one in my experience.

Really?  Neat.  I'm currently playing on a ground level volcano game.  Green glass bridge across it.
