Monkeys.  Exploding Monkeys! [by Jason Buckler]

From: Jason Buckler <doobie@ibm.net>
Subject: Exploding monkeys

I worked on this awhile back and asked for/got assistance on it.   Got it
working and have been running it since.  It works real well;  to the point
that I scream in terror whenever I see one of the  monkeys (I have them
with hidden/invis/sneak flags on for added  fun. :)  Code is rather
simplistic, but I'm still learning..

It's a pure-fun kinda thing, and I made the mob a monkey as it  struck me
as funny at the time... He randomly steals something  from you, sacrifices
it (or donate/junk - just change the code),   then "explodes", leaving the
poor player with no course of
action for revenge..

Use an existing mob, or create a new one, and ASSIGNMOB() it  in
spec_assign.c, and slap the code below into spec_procs.c

Thanks to Daniel and a few others for code assistance when I was working
on this, and to whoever wrote the do_sac code.  See the  snippet page for
the modified do_sac code that JTRHone submitted.
