Well, everyone out there probably already knows this, but just in case...
I found out yesterday that it is real easy to take a pick-axe into a store.
When the proprietor asks you to drop it, you drop it.  He will take one step
back, and then you can pick up the pick-axe and waltz right in.  (Sometimes
the storekeeper will step forward when you pick up the pick-axe and you will
have to drop the pick-axe a second time, and then pick it up once more.)
This is lots of fun, especially if you can't stand eating leprechauns and
flitting about all over a level.

No doubt everyone knows that you can use a wand of digging to dig holes
in the floor.  And a wand of polymorph can be used to polymorph corpses
into food rations.  A wand of polymorph doesn't seem to polymorph inanimate
objects like rings and potions, however.  Is this true?

Does reading a scroll of gold detection when you are confused do really
bad things?  Like remove any gold from the dungeon that might be lying
around?

Has anyone tried teleporting to a level below level 30?  What does it mean
when the wizard chants spells?  

Isn't it about time for an updated hack.hints file?

Cheers,
