Also, another use for cursed/useless items is, if you have high strength
and lots of room, you can actually THROW them and kill wimpy creatures
like nymphs.  I once had 18 str, rustproofed splint armor, lots of
extra useless armor (some cursed, some just worse than what I had)
and exactly 0 arrows.  I walked into a large room with a nymph, and
being too greedy to just leave her alone, I stood back and threw ARMOR
at her, and yes, I killed her!! It took 6 suits of armor to do her in,
though.  I am not sure, but I think armor does 1d0 or 1d1 so I got her
on strength bonuses alone.  So don't try this unless you are STRONG
(or really want to lose a real goody and are a bit of a masochist :-))
