  253. The mayor has made 9 mandates in a row requesting the construction of catapult parts. Now he is prohibiting the export of all catapult parts.

  258. I've got a fort that has an export industry centered entirely around little commemorative dacite figurines of the starting seven dwarves in different poses. Eventually we'll have to make the merchants more discerning -- Toady One
  259. I filled my fortress's temple with statues and tantruming dwarves to test out the desecration code. -- Toady One
  260. I once got sieged by an army of toads lead by a pyromancer. Not toadmen, not giant toads, but toads. The kind cats murder. -- Splint
  261. Giant cave toads may appear as mounts during a goblin attack, where they will happily swim their way into your fortress via any unprotected waterways. If the underwater path is short enough sometimes their goblin riders even survive the trip.
  262. Is that npc humping a table?
  263. Spill the intestines of your enemy, cut them off and keep as a stinking trophy. The smell makes you feel nausea? You are not even a half as nauseous as your victim is now.

  266. Prepared food! What do you mean prepared food?! You mean you aren't content with squatting in a dank cavern gnawing on a cold uncooked mushroom?
  267. A book called Into the Elf, sounds like a rip off of Fifty Shades of Gabbro.

  275. "You read Misconceptions About Reproduction."
    The written portion consists of a 69 page manual entitled Misconceptions About Reproduction, authored by Lali Mobblazes.

  282. A horse just grabbed me by the nose with it's front leg and threw me. I wish I knew horse Judo...
  283. Throwing a coat at an enemy tears their leg apart, bruising ligaments and tendons and forcing him to the ground, effectively doing more damage then if I had hacked him with an axe. Eh, seems legit.

  297. "Whenever I torture someone [in Adventure Mode], I like to 'slug' them. I remove their ears, nose, teeth, and tongue, and break both of their legs. I call it "slugging" because all they can do is crawl around on the floor and cry. Then I like to follow them around and talk to them about the weather." -- paroonshark
  298. "My dorfs leave this world the way they came into it: naked, screaming, and on fire." -- speedster217

  308. "A mix between Children of Men, City of Ember, and, uh, magma."
  309. "If a sieging army wants to talk, there's an initial petition to arrange a parley, which is not delivered physically -- they hang back outside in relative safety, since you people have a tendency to drop magma on things." -- Toady One
  310. "Spearmaster stabs the Troglodyte in the left eyelid from behind with his -bronze spear-, tearing the skin!"

  316. My imprisoned expedition leader just walked home while still considered a prisoner due to some erroneous travel code exclusive to position holders. -- Toady One
  317. If your vision of dwarves is less about crafting in the mountains, and more about a lone dwarf descending from the hills to attack a village with a pack of a dozen hounds, your vision is now a reality. That's how I tested it, anyway. Five of the dogs were struck down, but the humans will now think twice about whatever it was they were thinking about, that's for sure. -- Toady One
  318. "Those rivers are out to get you. Why do you think you can't fast travel across them? Because it's an ambush!" -- Uzu Bash

  320. "Ok, so one of the merchants who does nothing in this fortress whatsoever is hunting, that's the one who's hunting, not the 50 hunters I have in the fortress but the useless merchant, of course." -Kruggsmash.
  321. "If a site with outcasts hiding in it is conquered, the outcasts are treated like members of the defending site. This can lead to expected things like sewer werebeasts getting crucified.

The giant alligator later remembered itself and went back to attacking villages."-TheFlame52
  322. "Now, Throw it in the pile and get back to work." Kruggsmash
