Well, one thing is worse.  Picture this:

     1)  You are a caveman on level nine of the dungeon
     2)  You have just quaffed 2 raise levels to reach level 15
     3)  You kill a wraith
     4)  You eat it, not being cautious since you haven't eaten in two
         dungeon levels.
     5)  You choke...and die!!

Someone here also seems to have died on the way up, with the amulet, by
stopping into a wand shop and trying out wands.  He hit death and it
bounced and hit him.

By the way, zoos are real fun.  Conflict makes them easy, but you can
still rack up points by zapping in diagonally to finish off some of the
creatures.
