Bonuses for... LOSING?

I just came across something odd. I was trying to get myself killed so I could try out a few things on the boat, and was doing so by choosing the "Find a great many spiders" in the "Eyes and Spiders" storylet (It was chancy difficulty for me). When my wounds finally hit 8, I got a special message.
Where was that?
Spiders. More spiders. Even more spiders. Scuttling, leaping, biting, poisoning, running away. Thinking is hard. You see a great warm land, far across the Unterzee, but lit as if it were the Surface. An old place. A vital place. Where death is no more than an amusement. And then you're back in a gutter, with a dozen spiders crawling over your legs.
Dangerous is increasing... [?] Echo this
You now have 3 x Memory of Distant Shores [?] Echo this
Wounds has increased to 8 - The Spirit has Departed! [?] Echo this
It seems that I got a new message, as well as some items, for managing to hit 8 on a menace for this particular storylet. Wonder how many other storylets have similar ways to win by losing?
