Considering beasts and titans (which are beings that physically exist in the world) can be worshipped, would it be possible for a powerful enough dwarf, human, elf or goblin to be worshipped too, given enough time?

Not as far as I know.
POWER-token having creatures
"Allows the being to represent itself as a deity, allowing it to become the leader of a civilized group. Used by unique demons in the vanilla game. Requires CAN_SPEAK to actually do anything more than settle at a location (e.g. write books, lead armies, profane temples). Doesn't appear to do anything for creatures that are already civilized. Beings with this token behave like civilized leaders "

1.) Are doctors able to operate/heal themselves or does another doctor have to be present?
2.) Does having matching deity statues in temples make a difference? I've never seen it mentioned in a dwarves thoughts.

1. No, they just rest if they're injured and a hospital zone exists.
2. Probably not. Can dedicate a temple-zone to a single deity, though. Dorf knocking over a deity statue might do A Fun Thing.

There can be situations, however, when someone is born and given the same name as worshipped being, resulting in slight confusion.

3) Prevent military from carrying food (booze doesn't rot), as they'll store it there when taking off the backbag. It's helpfully placed on by default when you create a squad, so either disable it, or destroy all backbags. Alternatively, expose the their rooms to the sun in accurate part or in their entirety for a moment; then the food will still rot but not create miasma.

I keep seeing "Doctor cancelled suture: Needs thread" even though I've been spinning enough thread to make a temple out of it. Does it NEED to be in the hospital zone at all times or is this a bug?

[Ulfarr]

It's either that your doctor can't path to where your threads are stored or more probably just the usual bin/container bug that prevents a dwarf from accessing the stuff inside a container when said container is already in use. If you have a chest/bag in your hospital and you are in a hurry to suture those wound try removing the chest from the hospital (removing the zone from the tile with the chest is probably the fastest way) and your doctor should just go to grab the first thread available.

[Fleeting Frames]

Doctors will grab thread from stockpiles (used to use prefer this due instantly visible stocks) as well as other hospitals. Though I haven't tested with thread still inside a workshop.

[xZippy]

I'm embarrassed to ask this, but are 'yarn' and 'thread' the same object in the game?

[Fleeting Frames]

Yes

[xZippy]

Is there any benefit to making blocks from other materials aside from stone?

[Fleeting Frames]

Additional experience, room value, build speed, colour of block-based buildings.

- If you're going to build walls with wood anyway, can turn it into blocks first so you'll make more masterwork beds later.

- On a single-pick embark, a wood block is needed for a screw pump, and will build walls quicker.

- You might want a magenta well; this is easiest to accomplish through a rose gold or tunnel tube block.

[Magistrum]

Blocks are also more valuable, so even wooden blocks which convert 1 to 1 are still better for room value.

[Atarlost]

I think block walls are also harder to climb than clay boulder or log walls. 

[Magistrum]

That's true,blocks make smooth walls, which are harder to climb. Even smoothed cave walls.

Especially smoothed cave walls.  They're completely unclimbable.  But sometimes you don't have a natural wall where you need one and is isn't always practical to cast obsidian.

Once the fort is past the "just get it built" stage, I make blocks from valuable metals to add value to constructions. My last fort had multiple masterwork screwpumps in the dining hall, built with silver blocks.
