I came accross this on the internet it claim that there is a way to generate dirt:
To generate dirt:
place dirt.
bonemeal mushroom
climb on top of the huge mushroom
place ANOTHER mushroom on top of the huge mushroom
bonemeal it
The spot where you placed the second mushroom is now dirt.
So is this true? If not is there any other way to easily obtain dirt without any to begin with?
I believe doors allow attacks in one direction. So if you mount the door from the outside, you can attack through it, but you cannot be attacked (or be shot by skeletons) from outside.
I can't find an official source on this, but this thread discusses it (see the last post), and this blog entry (see number 5) seems to confirm it.
If I understand your question correctly, here is a way of creating a "power ripple". Think of the sandstone blocks above-ground as ground level; I built it this way so it's easier to see. The circuitry would be underground.
Repeaters have an interesting property of being able to "power" blocks, causing the blocks to give power. Each Repeater in this image is powering the sandstone block in front, turning the Redstone Torch on top of them off, and is also powering the next Repeater.
When this button is pressed, the Redstone Torch turns off, causing the chain of Repeaters to slowly turn off, which also causes the Redstone Torches underneath to slowly turn on, in order.
The result is the line of Redstone Dust on the surface gradually turns on, and then gradually turns off.

You used to be able to plant mushrooms on any surface, then make them grow into Huge Mushrooms using Bone Meal. This would, for some reason, convert the tile below the mushroom's stipe to dirt.
This was obviously a bug (as it would allow players to, for example, destroy Bedrock), and was fixed at some point. So no, this is no longer possible.
