time to rot /food poisoning
It says here corpses start to rot after 30 turns, source-diving over at Food poisoning results in 60 turns. So what is the matter - is 30 turns just a "safe lower bound" in case some monsters leave pre-aged corpses, do player and monster turns count separately and make up the factor 2, or is 30 plain wrong? -Tjr 22:21, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Do not know if this is a bug, but once I tried to eat the corpse of newt told me that the corpse is rotten, but dead body was very fresh (2-3 turn). The corpse was not cursed, I tested it on the altar. Someone else happened to you was on something?
- There are 3 meanings of rotten: 1) corpse makes you confused, blind, or unconcious, 2) gives food poisoning, 3) corpse disappears spontaneously. Yes, you can get number one right away, and yes, that's a bug. In the same vein, if you continue eating the partially eaten comestible, you will never get the effect, but if you eat something in between, you always do. --Tjr 10:44, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

- You get a random (non-genocided) corpse. Wish#Wishing_for_a_monster_type. --Tjr 10:28, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
corpse generation odds
This section doesn't include how graveyards affect undead corpse generation. It should probably list all levels with a similar effect (eg. castle).--Noims 17:02, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
