Because Armok thinks it more FUN watching your expression when you are assualted by a army of floating guts.
 
Why have their been no Dwarven, Elven, and Goblin sites until now (in-game explanation)?

The dwarves have spent all their time trying to colonize glaciers covered in evil smog; the elves can't really build anything -- what would they build with? And the goblins, well, they fall into two factions: the ones who have to sneak everywhere, and thus can't build (too conspicuous); and the ones who are riding Giant Bats and spend their entire lives soaring aimlessly at the whims of their mounts.

Q: If a hauler begins pushing a bismuth bronze minecart clockwise up a spiral ramp from the magma forges on Z -147 on the 22nd of Granite, and another dwarf pushes a copper minecart from the Trade Depot heading counterclockwise down the ramp on the 24th of Granite, where will the mayor find the hauler's left lower arm?

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.
I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

That's entirely dependent upon how many dead elves had been in the Depot at the time of departure.  Note: elves dying AFTER departure do not affect this equation, but is still frickin' hilarious.

How can your Dwarven civ have developed the High Boot, but have NO IDEA how to make Low Boots?

The answer is simple: The Low Boot is not actually footwear, but rather it is named for its colloquial usage.

You just need to adapt your tactics to talk on fast, kicky monsters who gang up on you.

Why do boogwymen only attack player led characters and not worldgen ones?

Because only player characters are stupid enough to venture out into the woods in the middle of the night.

How can dwarves breathe from 100z's underground if the staircase is sealed?

Because Dwarves don't breathe. They use an alcohol-based organ in their beards that allow them to create oxygen to put into their bloodstream. They can die from water because it washes away the alcohol and are bugged by miasma because it irritates the organ.

A Cave Crocodile I tamed became a Historical Figure, because it killed a Goblin.

That's not what's odd.

What's odd is he had an object of worship. Namely Kun, apparently Kun is a god in the image of a Giant Bat, associated with the night, stars, sky, and wealth.

Apparently only one Dwarf ever worshiped Kun. Even weirder is the Crocodile's 'worship' isn't mentioned on the God's page.

Also apparently an univited guest showed up, and destroyed a masterwork cage, without me getting any notification of it arriving.

Because that same uninvited guest also destroyed the notification before it could arrive.

For every trouble under the sun, there is an answer, or there is none.
If there is one, then seek until you find it.
If there is none, then never ever mind it.

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).
