It is said you can always find a lolipop on a 16x16 map

It is also said that elves are beautiful, graceful, in touch with nature on a level dwarves and humans will never comprehend, and are granted eternal life.

Counterpoints: They're not, they're not, yes they are but only if you mean "they're filthy cannibals", and no (masterwork steel axe to the face > elf).

Don't believe everything they say, Urist.

I once embarked on a 16x16 for the specific purpose of finding an underground fortress and there wasn't one there.

Worldgen: I made you a fortress --
Volcano: AND I EATED IT HAHAHAHAHAHA

How does the weapon work anyway? I was under the impression that items used in the construction of a building couldn't be stolen, and that the weapon was essentially a building.

if you just read the link in the spoilers above your post leading to the wikipage of the mentioned object there is the simple way to do deconstruct it  ...

Do what? I embarked on a 16x16 area and there was no unusual weaponry in my stocks screen, and no fortress visible upon Reveal. I'm guessing that the game tried to put the mamga pipe on the same tile as the HFF, but since that has a 1/256 chance of happening I don't feel like testing it.

Looks like if it's not in the 16x16 area (the largest area you can possibly embark on), just try another one.  I recently did just that, then using the stocks menu and zooming to the weapon figured out where it was in the 16x16 area.  Then I killed DF and re-embarked in that same area but with a more reasonable size fortress (3x3).

And it is indeed a construction, so no idiot can wander in and take it by accident.  You need to have someone deconstruct it to get the desired effect.  Also fun: hook up a lever to it and watch it become a spike trap!
