Earlier on the net, it was said that throwing bad potions (such as blindness,
confusion, paralysis) at monsters didn't work, so while playing hack 1.0.2 I
decided to see for myself.  I had a potion of blindness (already identified)
and the fifth (5th) time I threw it at an acid blob it said:

The flagon crashes on the acid blob's head and breaks into shivers. --more--
The potion of blindness evaporates.  It suddenly gets dark.

First, I didn't know acid blobs had heads, and what's a shiver of glass?  But
anyway, three moves later It said I could see again, but the acid blob remained
confused.
