25,000,500 zorkmids is 250,005 ... somethings. Anyways, 100 goldA metal of characteristic yellow colour, the most precious
metal used as a common commercial medium of exchange. Symbol,
Au; at. no. 79; at. wt. 197.2. It is the most malleable
and ductile of all metals, and very heavy (sp. gr., 19.3).
It is quite unalterable by heat, moisture, and most
corrosive agents, and therefore well suited for its use in
coin and jewelry.

pieces accounts for 1 unit of normal weight. A load stone (so heavy that it weighs you down) weighs in at something like 500 weight units. So, this is like 500 load stones or so. :-P

Cordbar, you have been commenting for a long time on many comics but it is clear that you have no sense of humor or have never played nethack. Please... if you insist on commenting... post something other than "HUH?" It shows that you either do not understand humor whatsoever or are EXTREMELY sarcastic, both of which are very annoying. And play the game for pete's sakeJapanese rice wine.

Ah, spam: universally met with incredulity, but in this case, it's because they haven't played enough Nethack.

"GodGoddesses and Gods operate in ones, threesomes, or whole
pantheons of nine or more (see Religion). Most of them claim
to have made the world, and this is indeed a likely claim in
the case of threesomes or pantheons: Fantasyland does have
the air of having been made by a committee. But all Goddesses
and Gods, whether they say they made the world or not, have
very detailed short-term plans for it which they are determined
to carry out. Consequently they tend to push people into the
required actions by the use of coincidence or Prophecy, or just
by narrowing down your available choices of what to do next:
if a deity is pushing you, things will go miserably badly until
there is only one choice left to you.
