The IGB says that girdle of weight "increases weight of equipped items". Also its name is in red, which means it is a bad item. I see nothing incorrect with the info.

Girdle of weight has the same effect regardless of whether items are equipped or not. It does not affect equipped items in any way. Honestly, I have a lot of trouble understanding where your line came from - original Guidebook says "just heavy", which is a bit more on the mark at least. "Weighs much more when equipped" would be the best simple statement to make about it.

You also have a lot of trouble understanding why
it gets brighter during the day, and darker at
night. So what does that prove? : D

In that sense, wouldn't it indeed be 'increasing
the weight of an equipped item? I don't think Pavel
is a native English speaker, so his statements may
be true, but a bit misleading (I don't often use it,
so I really don't know). Then again, the regular
guidebook is worded quite strangely in some places
as well.
"Whip me!" pleads the adom player. The rng replies... "No."
All I can add is the one time I had the axe (and was wielding it) I got the shield. The other times I've done it without the axe I did not get the shield.
Keep in mind I don't usually make it that far, so it's not a significant number of tests.
Edit: I was L+ but not crowned the time I got the shield.
All the test chars I've just run had no axe and no crowning. They all got the shield.

Death ray can actually kill you on bounces (IIRC, if it kills a mob first). Possibly bugged.
You hit Andor Drakon, the ElDeR cHaOs GoD, and severely wound him.
The greater balor summons some help!
The ratling duelist disarms you. You drop your blessed Trident of the Red Rooster (+36, 6d12+18) [+12, +12]. It flies to the west.
Andor Drakon, the ElDeR cHaOs GoD, picks up the blessed Trident of the Red Rooster (+36, 6d12+18) [+12, +12].
Andor Drakon, the ElDeR cHaOs GoD, wields the blessed Trident of the Red Rooster (+36, 6d12+18) [+12, +12].
I guess my mind is starting to go. I tested it, and you seem to be right. Wonder where I got that idea from.
