   Rings eat food too.  When your food supply ran out so did your ring's.
   A quick way to realize this is teleporting w/ Ring of Teleport Control.
   You can move about the level "as the crow flies" but you use the same
   amount of food as if you had walked the same distance plus the food your
   rings ate.  Two rings use quite a bit of food.  Good policy is to keep
   unnecessary rings off your fingers until you need to use them.

   HACK TRIVIA: If you have an Enchant Weapon Scroll but no weapon.  Wield
	       your armour and PRESTO!!! Magic Armour!!  Neat, huh...
