Um... you mean corpses are awesome?

I never have seen anything wrong with spears. I still prefer hammers or maces.

I'm just saying that I managed to use a corpse as a spear. I wasn't expecting anything like this to happen... maybe in the old version, but still.

Exactly, corpses are now pierceing weapons...

Well, you know, like coins seemed to be a chainsaw massacre last version.

Actually, I believe every weapon now has some weird chance for stuck_ins.  I've been getting hammers and mauls to do it, as well.  I figure it's a bug.

Yeah, I figure it is to make no weapon too broken.

But twisting pulls it out instantly, so...

Twisting pulls everything out.
It's because it was overpowered when you could keep twisting forever.
(Although it's a bug)

Indeed, pinching someone's head off (literally) ftw.

So, I tediously awaited the arrival of the dwarven caravan (I'm set up on a island, see)... And, they came. My fingers tingled, my nose twitched and my toes tickled... they came around the corner, over my bridge... Into my courtyard... Onto my trade depot...

Then everything near it exploded in a cloud of blood.

I think most people's concept of "stuck in" may be a little too narrow.  If anyone has ever hammered a piece of rotten wood then the concept of a blunt weapon getting "stuck in" something they have likely experienced.

Similarly, a sufficiently brutal blow with most anything should have a chance of getting "stuck in" by some fashion.  Suppose a flail were to wrap around a limb and get tangled, the phrase "stuck in" isn't exactly accurate but the general idea of being stuck and needing to be freed is.  Similar thinking can probably be extended to the odd "stuck in" occurrences.
