Holy crap I was banging my head against the wall for this one.

Got a wave of migrants who weren't doing anything (aside from pissing me off) so I thought "maybe they need to go to a meeting area or something... I need a meeting area," so I made one.

No change

Wait a minute, is that a brook or a river...

I am such a noob :-[

You attempted to drown amphibious creatures and the possibility of this not working never occurred to you?
They should drown as long as they don't have the 'no breathe' tag, because unless they have gills they still need to take in air through the lungs (or skin, though that should only be sufficient for vermin-sized creatures). But since DF doesn't model different types of respiratory systems, with non-aquatic creatures it's just a question of a. whether a creature needs access to air, and b. whether or not it can take advantage of any air access (ie. swimming vs. drowning).

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

My biggest facepalm moment to date has probably been the time that I saw my entire fortress very unhappy - people were throwing tantrums, patients couldn't get water, stockpile error spams were going wild - and I then realized I had kept the doors to the outside of the fortress locked for almost half a year after the latest ambush.

Good thing it was still pet-passable.

That's a face palm... how?  (Unless you then subsequently flooded your fortress with it)

Long story short, a recent act of mismanagement on my part resulted in a torrent of three dozen wild foxes pouring down the stairway from the kennels and into the dining hall of Heavenspick. An epic battle ensued between the the cat-dogs and a group of salty old veterans. Unfortunately the fortress' only, long-anticipated Legendary  Engraver was caught in the crossfire, and will never use his hands. His only consolation is extremely silky entry rug in his room.

I don't think a dwarf needs the use of their hands to engrave.
I could be wrong.

Did this.  Almost to the point of rage quit before I figured it out.

The militia commander hacks The Gorlak in the head with her -bronze battle axe-, tearing apart the muscle and tearing apart the right kidney.

What in the what?

EDIT: According to the raws on the Magmawiki, Gorlaks keep all their organs in their head. Fascinating.
