Self-explanatory. My first artifact on my new fort since picking the game back up recently was Greenbeans, a cedar splint.  I suppose I shouldn't complain too much since it has a picture of a bronze colossus killing an elf on it, but...  Greenbeans? Really?

What are some of the worst (and best) artifact names (or just plain artifacts) you've gotten lately?

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

A piece of dyed underwear named that Tatooed Imprisonment is actually quite fitting.

Oh god
I am now imagining a fat, hairy dwarf wearing bright-red antique boxers that say 'THE TATTOOED IMPRISONMENT' on the waistband and sixteen cloaks, wearing sunglasses, carrying a barrel of booze under one arm, with a tattoo on his gut saying [DUNGEON MASTER], saying 'Deal with it'.

Recently I got a rock salt door made from a single chunk of rock salt.  ::)

I never consider artefact clothing to be useless though, since it's basically indestructible. Add it to a militia uniform for extra coverage.

Chances are if I'm making a post, I'm drunk.

Hey, any furniture, especially a door, is a useful artifact. Indestructible building destroyer bait that you can lock and unlock without relying on dwarfpower? Yes please!

You want useless, have a candy hammer with a picture of what it would look like in gold on it.

I once had a dog leather backpack called The National Fragrances.
