Did anyone of you SuperRogue players come apon the fact
that when you read a scroll of creation that the game
replies
	"Too much for you to carry"
?
This MUST be a bug.
Why would the authors program SuperRogue to rip you off
a +255 armor unless it was a bug? Huh?

How about stepping through a magic pool on level 35,
and ending with "You hear a faint groan from below"
and ending up on level 30?

Or a magic pool on level one, and:
	"Oh no!  You drown!"
and then the infamous rogue gravestone?

How about when you have +255 armor, and are
going to throw your ragged -5 plate at a rust monster
just for fun?

Did you ever notice, whichever letter you pick,
it is always your +255 armor?

How about:

	"She stole your Amulet of Yendor!"

On the other hand, nymphs are dumb.

You have a wand of polymorph[0].  Up comes a nymph:

	"She stole your wand of polymorph!"

or

	"She stole your leather armor -3!"

or even

	"She stole your ring of wisdom -1!"

and even

	"She stole your wand of haste monster!"

And what about the leprachaun.

You have 1 million gp.

Up comes Mr. Lep, and he steals 1/4!

	
How about the screen bug?

Or the other game when you had +255 armor, and
when you accidentaly press
	"100.(yes that's a period you typed)"
and you hit break.

You guessed it:

	"O.K., if you want to exit so badly, I'll have to allow it."

So what's good about rogue?  The whole game is
addictive.  Almost as bad as cigarretes.
