** Another one: eating a [[{{Flintstones}} flint stone]] would result in the message "Yabba-dabba delicious!". [[spoiler:''Flintstones'' brand of children's vitamin tablets.]]

** Another one: eating a [[{{Flintstones}} flint stone]] would result in the message "Yabba-dabba delicious!" (currently, there are no rock-eating creatures in the game). [[spoiler:''Flintstones'' brand of children's vitamin tablets.]]

** Rings that are set with hard gems can be engraved with.

* They even do this in the download! "Step 0: Promise to do step 2 before telling us the game won't run. Thank you.

* As a knight (who starts with a pet pony), play the game without a default horse name set and don't give it a name. If you go up on the first level with your horse, you're told that you [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_%28band%29 "been through the dungeon on a horse with no name".]]
** In a similar style, dismounting an unnamed steed while [[MushroomSamba hallucinating]] generates the message "It felt good to get out of the rain."

* Polymorphing into a monster that can eat metal and eating a ''trident'' gives the message "[[IncrediblyLamePun That was pure chewing satisfaction]]." [[spoiler:It's a reference to Trident Gum.]]

* If you see a pit viper fall into a pit, you get the message [[IncrediblyLamePun "How pitiful! Isn't that the pits?"]]

** Perhaps the best example of this involving cockatrices is this. When you are blind and walk over an item, the game states "you try to feel what is lying on the floor. It is a [item]." This is literal, as I found when walking over a cockatrice corpse, blind, with bare hands. "You turn to stone..."

* What does a wand of undead turning do?
** Why, make undead run away of course.
** No, it makes corpses into zombies.
*** Actually, it'll do either, in context.

** Elbereth can be engraved permanently with Wand of Lightening or Wand of Fire. It will protect your stash from hostile monsters permanently. Such squares will revert to normal squares if you engrave with Wand of Polymorph on it. Also, keep in mind that using the wand of lightining will blind you if you don't have suitable protection.

** Conclusion: whilst playing as a female character, polymorph into a cockatrice, lay dozens of eggs, revert to human, and [[CrossesTheLineTwice throw the eggs at enemies to petrify them instantly!]] ...And the [=DevTeam=] has even thought of that, as causing your own eggs to break carries a significant guilt (luck) penalty.
*** A cockatrice corpse can be wielded as a weapon (if you have gloves, of course), which will handily petrify enemies... until it starts to rot.
* Also, if one falls down a staircase while wielding a cockatrice corpse, bad things tend to happen...

* Mint leaves can be eaten to cure food poisoning, as intended. ''Or'', you can Apply the leaf instead of Eating it to use it as a noisy grass whistle. This also has a chance of removing the blessing from a blessed leaf, because seriously, you just put your mouth all over it.

* As a knight, name your horse [[Main/TheLordOfTheRings Shadowfax]] and he won't let you ride him.

** Marble wands are affected by Stone To Flesh. Glass and crystal wands shatter when hit with a force bolt. Metal wands can rust. Copper wands can corrode.
