The fact that you're using beer at all is a facepalm.





I mean, everyone knows rum is cooler  :P

That's the thing! It's cooler, and beer's warmer! It blows up better!

And good thing that I discovered the mass-dump menu in time, too. Before I did any large-scale mining.

Embarked on a haunted volcano. I am currently terrorized by skeletal alligators.

Oh Armok, you're right! Next time, use wine?

forbidding a metalsmiths workshop while a dwarf was in mid artifact construction in an attempt to make him use a superior metal, causing him to never finish the construction and going mad missing out on a first year legendary weapon/armorsmith? *facepalm*

Finding out that my 115 z-level magma pump was not made out of magma-safe materials. Then, I found out that Magma doesn't fire out of a cannon very far without a lot of pressure, requiring a large magma tank and another 50 or so pumps.

Nickname him  "Captain America"!

Or atleast something similar that fits into DF.

A man would see that as a difficult challenge.
An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

That depends.  Has he grown attached to his shield yet?

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

After completely diverting a brook from its crooked, inefficient path to a perfectly straight one fit for dozens of water wheels, I discovered that, even without water, I have to mine away the brook  ???.

I channelled away the wrong tile, and now the new river is flooding back into the empty old one. That's not the worst part. It's early spring. I have to wait three seasons for the water to freeze so I can fix the damage caused by one channelled tile.

Two dwarves and a donkey were having a strange quarrel at the door of the expedition leader's office.

I checked what was going on. Turns out that Udib Guildwatch the Bowyer and Degel Equalwhip the Planter were fighting over if the donkey was to be caged, as Udib intended, or milked, as Degel wanted. Whenever one of them took the donkey and pulled it across the door of the office, the other one yanked it back to take it the other way.

In the end divine intervention decided to cancel one of the jobs, but I wonder if they would have continued until one of them died of thirst.

He stole an onion. Off with his head.
I wonder, what would they do if someone killed their king.
Inevitable, who cares. Now an onion...
