There are several objects here.
f - a troll corpse. You rebalance your load. Movement is difficult.
# offer
What do you want to sacrifice? [fI or ?*] f
Your sacrifice is consumed in a burst of flame!
An object appears at your feet!
The voice of Anhur booms: "Use my gift wisely!"
Your movements are now unencumbered.
You have a little trouble lifting j - a morning star named Trollsbane.

This cracked me up...

Just so you know, you don't have to pick up the corpse to sacrifice it.

Don't worry this happens regularly. See r.g.r.n archives, e.g.
3 Sep. 2004, Artemis the Ranger
13 Aug. 2002, Janis
and a lot more often unpublished I am sure.

But I suppose that's never happening with Demonbane! ;-)

You do if it's not already on an altar.

Not necessarily. You'd probably burn through several wands of teleport
before you got that lucky, but it is possible to move a heavy corpse to
an altar without lifting it...

Yes, a sadistic sense of humor...
