Title: Everyone knows me...
Post by anon on Feb 19th, 2003, 2:33am
Everyone knows me. Once it is rumored a man drank his fill of me (much to his reget). I am found on the highest mountains and the deepest rivers. What flame, or, flower, or fish can tell. I am worshiped and cursed, Loved and lost, pure and corrupt, black and white. I am animal, vegetable, mineral. What am I?

OK, I don't know what you mean by:
What flame, or, flower, or fish can tell.

Also, my answer doesn't seem to fit with:
I am animal, vegetable, mineral.

But otherwise I think the answer is:
[hide]gold[/hide]

correct - what golden flame, marigold (type of flower), of goldfish can tell. Crassus and Montazuma died of poisoning by drinking liquid gold.

I don't think it was poisoning. Sounds more like burns. When was aqia regii invented?

Do you mean aqua regia?
I only know that this solvent was already known in the Middle Ages.

D'oh! Bad, bad fingers! Well then, what about Crassus? It was before alchemy became a hobby.
