Dead lizards are indeed good only for food at any time EXCEPT during a new moon. During the new moon (as I recall) there is a 100% chance that if you hear a cocktrice's hissing that you will be turned to stone, (I think) the rest of the time there is only a twenty percent chance that you will be turned to stone. During the new moon, if you have a dead lizard you revert back to the usual chance of turning to stone. Unfortunately I am not sure whether you have to wield the lizard or only to possess it. I apologize for the uncertainty of my information. I got it myself from someone who had looked at the code and knew for sure what worked and under what circumstances, but I consider the information to be useful under such limited circumstances that I consider it practically worthless myself. _____ ....gatech!gitpyr!phred "omni,omni,VOR,ILS,DME,SDF,ADF,NDB,ohhhhhhmmmmmm,omni,omni,..."
