Riddle:
Both happiness and sorrow I bring from ancient taps a plenty. I dull the pain of cuts and life, some drowning in my embrace. What am I?
Answer: Answer: Alcohol
Line-by-line analysis: "Both happiness and sorrow I bring" – This thing causes both joy and sadness — possibly something intoxicating, poetic, or emotional. "From ancient taps a plenty." – "Taps" hints at barrels, kegs, or faucets. "Ancient" suggests it’s been around a long time — maybe alcohol. "I dull the pain of cuts and life," – Suggests a numbing agent, metaphorically or literally. Again, this supports alcohol or possibly water. "Some drowning in my embrace." – A powerful final line — both literally (drowning) and metaphorically (being consumed or overwhelmed). Most fitting answer: Alcohol Brings happiness (celebration) and sorrow (addiction, regret). Comes from "ancient taps" — barrels, kegs, breweries. Dulls pain — physically (as a disinfectant) and emotionally (as a depressant). People can become lost or consumed by it — "drowning" in it. Alternative interpretation: Water Brings life and joy, but also floods and sorrow. Comes from ancient sources — springs, wells, rivers. Cleans wounds, sustains life, but also causes drowning. Has existed since ancient times — crucial to all life. Verdict: Both alcohol and water are strong contenders, but given the emotional duality, taps, and "dulling pain," the riddle most precisely points to: Alcohol

Answer: When the balloon lost altitude, the men threw their clothes overboard to avoid crashing. The men had a Rock Paper Scissors tournament to see who would jump. The man lost the loser's bracket and jumped. Later, a lion found him and ate some of him. Explorers then find his body 150 feet away from his clothes.
