Someone at my site asked how a ghost could have died with all these
beautiful things, and since it happened to have been MY ghost from
a previous game, I know:

	WIELDING A COCKATRICE IS VERY DANGEROUS!!

I take back an earlier comment about wishing for one -- don't ever
pick the darn things up!  Of all the horrible things that can happen
to a wizard wearing all that armor and wielding a +5 long sword,
falling in a pit and touching a cockatrice in the fall has got to
be the worst.
