If You drink two "haste self" potions, you faint from exhaustion, but (assuming nobody kills you while you're fainted) you are then permanently hasted!! Which is really nice when dealing with Trolls and Xorns. Cheers! Bill PS: I really should figure the probability of that one: I've done it once or twice, so it's non-zero, and it makes it easy to identify "unlabeled" potions, but it may be counter-productive in the long run.
