The strangest thing just happened to me.

One of my dwarves was injured severely (I'm not sure how) and he had a broken left arm and broken left leg. He was laying in the hospital for about 4 months, when he becomes possessed. He  regains consciousness and limps over to a craftdwarf's workshop without a crutch or anything. He gathers all of his materials after a while and begins his construction. While in the middle of constructing this artifact, he succumbed to an infection and died.

I'd like to hear your strange stories.

how far could he turn his head? 90+ degrees and he shouldnt have died.

  An elephant kicked a chicken around to no effect. I thought it was pretty funny. KICKIN' CHICKIN'!

  Engraved at the bottom of my death pit is a goblin falling to his death.

  Not much exciting stuff happening with current fort.

While some dwarf was pasturizing a Yak, they passed through a weapon trap.  The yak exploded in gore.  I like to imagine the bored-out-of-his-mind Hauler triggered the trap for the lolz, but its more likely that the yak got beaten up by a bunny and was unconscious.

That is either the wimpiest elephant I've ever seen, or a secret ninja chicken.

My 2 hammerlords with featherwood hammers where playing catch recently with a kobold that had steel armour for some reason, they just kept punting it between them, several z-levels up and down aswel!

[Lamphare]

occasionally my dwarves would walk to somewhere absolutely accessible, and stuck there
and die.

There is a young fungiwood growing in my magma pit...

A dragon walked up to my fort and exploded, killing my entire military. No combat records, no dorfs near the dragon; just a cloud of smoke, fire and ten dead dorfs.

Must've been a morporkian swamp dragon.

One time I thought I noticed a couple tildes following one of my dwarves around. Eventually I was sure of it and finally was able to loo(k) at it to find that they were intestines. He had healed up and was able to work without a problem, and I don't think he even got infected, but for the rest of that fortresses existence, he was trailing his intestines two whole dwarf lengths behind him!

Elk bird invasions about 40 dwarves are blinking yellow + due to some pecking injury but no deaths yet but im ready to magma purge.

Baby in a cage.

I have no goddamn clue how it got there. None of my military were carrying babies, and I hadn't seen any Snatchers appear. But I get the message 'Urist McBabby has died of thirst!' and zoom to his location, AND HE'S IN A GODDAMN CAGE!

HOW?!

[iceball3]

I managed to get a dragon killed.
What happened was the dragon threw a dwarf at a wall, the flying dwarf exploded, and his leg hit the dragon right in the heart. It bled to death within a few turns later.

Chickens are extraordinarily clever. Anyone who has ever played Fable 3 can tell you that.

I've had the captain of the guard administer a bare-handed beating to my militia captain (who accidentally violated an export ban by hauling a barrel with an earring inside it SIX MONTHS before the ban came around) while he sparred with another soldier.

He dodged every blow. By both of them, even.
