I'm fascinated to discover that INT, CON, and DEX don't exist in the
rogue source, so of course I have been making them up.  Nonetheless
THEY DO HELP!!  I Also suspect that the random numbrs are not as random
as they should be  (but I really thought INT, CON and DEX existed in
Rogue, yes I did).  Here is another one -- I know this doesn't
exist in the source (Ken Arnold told me so), but I am convinced that
I have avoided many a loss of strength by following this theory:

	Ants are directional.  In each game, for each class of armor,
	they are more likely to sting you in some directions than
	others.  If an ant stings you, don't attack subsequent ants
	from the same direction.  {Now here it comes, please don't
	laugh too hard at the last sentence of this theory} A few
	superants will sting you no matter what you do; don't let them
	discourage you from following this theory.
