Step 1) dig out some rock, so that you have some stones lying about.
Step 2) under each stone, one z-level down, dig an upwards ramp.

Now all your stones are floating above the ramp.  They don't fall down like they should.  As an extra bonus, when attempting to build anything, these stones will always show up at the top of the list, with distances in the negative tens of thousands (not static).  A dwarf trying to use this stone in construction will walk up to the stone and start doing the worm: lying down, getting back up, over and over and over and over and over.  They will never get the stone.

How do you fix this?  One option is to rewall a floor under them.  You can't use the stone itself to construct this floor.  However, once it's built, the stone will disappear.  But what if you want to keep the stone?  Even more fun, then: designate a floor under them, then cancel the construction of the floor.  The stone will now properly fall down.

This is similar to a problem with channels from the testing stage.  It must not have stuck for ramps...
