Unless your friendly implementor changes the code, only login id's called
"david" ever see treasure zoos.

Eating a nurse aggravates all monsters, forever.  It also removes any
telepathic ability you get from eating a floating eye.  Far better to remove
all armor and wield nothing around them.

You sharpen a worm tooth by reading the right scroll over it.  Don't drop it,
though.  A crysknife does 1d12 damage to both large and small monsters,
far superior to both 2-H and long swords.
