How does Byzantine plumbing work?
Quite well, as long as you stay the heck away from it once it's finished. Either it'll be excessively pressurised, or linked to something incredibly important in one of the areas you flooded several years ago and can't find again (if you even remembered you did it in the first place), or running through the guts of the fortress like the world's largest tapeworm.

The dwarven crippler is something I made in 40d (but I didn't invent it). It consisted of a pressure plate set to trigger on the weight of a child, and when this happened a hatch in front of them would open, forcing them to take a longer path to their destination. This longer path incorporated a pressure plate and a retracting bridge. You see where this is going.
It could be expanded to useless adults for 31 if you could guarantee a way of forcing test subjects through the crippler while excluding useful dwarves.

44 (34?). A danger room... over a swimming pool

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

So just a long series of halls filled with water for various projects? I'm doing that right now in 40d.

Iv seen people who haven't had a redheaded person in their family for quite a while, and then out of nowhere two out of three of their children have red hair.
