put the switch for the gears of the water pump connecting it to the waterwheel AWAY from that site, preferably somewhere higher that you can always reach, in case of accidental flooding

Feb, my champion, defeated ten waves of goblins by a cliff.

Happy, she took a step back, and fell over.

My first fort:
"Oooh, what does "channel" do?"
I ended up flooding my 1 z-level fort by digging a channel into the mayor's bedroom. While he was sleeping in it.

after setting miltairy alert, civ restricted, my mayor who was just elected with the BEST EVER preferences still walks outside into a cyclopse!

edit:
he managed to get away with barely a scratch. Athlethic and fast mayor ftw

I´ve had some problems getting the newest batch of useless migrants to the viewpoint of serenity (don´t mind the raised bridge, it just block the harsh winds) in Magictowers.
Feeling smart, I´ve put them into a squad and stationed them in the killzone. Everything went great, they even named their squad "The Lovers of Bridging", which was hilarious.

Then one of my masons died. I may have twenty, but he was one of the good...

I´ve made them the guards.. and I have no prison. -.-

I take it that your attempt to drown your mayor was nothing more than an unfortunate accident?

Very carefully?
More then likely by either not taking into account that magma can path diagonally, by originally intending the room to be used for something else before it was a cistern (maybe a waterfall attempt?)
 or just failing to finish walling it off.

My fort is going well. The miner who made a cave-in on himself has almost recovered, though he refuses to get out of his traction bench/ the CMD refuses to get him out. Then, I see this announcement:

"Ambushers! Curse them!"

And realize I have failed to make any traps. Fortunately, there's a dwarven caravan, and it beats the shit out of the gobbos for me, so I get a bit of goblinite. Unfortunately, the only one with armor got away... everything but its head was broken, but it could somehow walk, so it got off the map.

I made a badass magma moat filled with uptight spikes at the bottom around an idilyc Hawaiian island fortress.
I was planning in making an above-ground green glass fort.

I discovered that a volcano+magma moat meant that the environment was very hot.
Very, very, very hot.

The vegetations in a 70 square radius died off from the radiated heat, and my dwarves all over my fortress eventually went mad from the bad thoughts from the ambiant heat.

I had the same problem; if you dismantle the traction bench, that might get him moving again.
