How about using your pick-axe or wanding of digging and peirce throught
its stomach? 

I came accross an interesting incident, I was standing on the !WORD!,
and began to eat (emtpy handed) a tin. Well a monster came up to me,
and I "stopped eating". Well this monster was whimpy, so I wielded my
mace (letter a.), and began attacking the monster. While beating on
him, I did a ')' to see my weapon, and found that I was wielding the
tin (letter a.). So, how the heck did the tin that was at the end of
my inventory move to the very top??? This has happened to me 2-3 times,
and our version of hack (1.02, who'd want 1.03?), hasn't been tampered
with. Any help would be most appreciated.
