Rogue 5.2 (probably every version of rogue) contains "weird"
messages for all kinds of items.  The messages are used when the
software screws up and the item is no longer fully identifyable.
My favorite is from Rogue 3.6: A Nymph can steal a ring of aggravate
Monster from your finger, but the software doesn't really believe it is
gone.  It won't let you put anything else on the same finger.  After
going down two more levels, you can "Remove" from that finger,
and you get the message:

	Removed something weird
